Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups pecans
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs
6 (1 inch thick) pork chops
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Italian flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the pecans on a baking sheet, and bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Set pecans aside to cool. Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees (190 degrees C).
  • Chop pecans finely, and then combine in a shallow bowl with the salt and pepper. Place the flour in another shallow bowl. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs together until well blended. First dip each pork chop into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip the chops into the egg, and finally into the finely chopped pecans.
  • In a large oven-proof frying pan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in the pan. Cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes total.
  • Place the frying pan in the preheated oven, and bake until firm to the touch and pale pink when cut in the center, about 10 to 12 minutes. Do not allow the nut coating to burn. Transfer the pork chops to a warmed platter, and garnish with parsley sprigs. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and tender during cooking.
  • Season the pork chops well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
  • Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. The breadcrumb mixture is what gives these pork chops their delicious crust. Be sure to use a variety of breadcrumbs, such as panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, and crushed crackers. You can also add nuts, seeds, or herbs to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the pork chops for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides. These pork chops are delicious served with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.
