CRUNCHY PORK CHOPS WITH GARLICKY SPINACH AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:
- Trim the thick white fat off the pork chops, cutting carefully around the outside edge. Lay the chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and, using a mallet or a rolling pin beat them until the meaty part of the chop is half as thick. You will need to beat around the bone, so turn them over once as you go.
- Beat the egg in a shallow wide bowl with the mustard, oregano, and salt and pepper. On a large plate or platter, combine the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan.
- Press each of the chops into the egg mixture, coating either side. Then dip the eggy chops into the bread crumbs, covering them evenly. Let them lie on a cooling rack to dry slightly while you heat the oil in a large frying pan. When a small cube of bread sizzles if dropped into the oil, then the oil is hot enough. Cook the chops until they are a deep golden color, about 5 to 7 minutes a side (depending on how thin you've managed to get them and how cold they were before going in the oil).
- Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes and take out the seeds, then cut the shells into strips and dice them. You can take off the skins, too, if you prefer, by steeping the tomatoes first into a bowl of just boiled water for 3 to 5 minutes. Combine the diced tomato, minced or grated garlic, oil, and lemon juice in a bowl, and season well with salt and pepper.
- When the chops are ready, toss the spinach in the tomato mixture until well coated and divide the salad between 2 large plates, putting each chop alongside.

TOMATO SMOTHERED PORK STEAKS (OR CHOPS) FOR THE CROCK-POT
A tasty way to use, and stretch, an inexpensive cut of meat -- pork butt steaks. Simmering all day suits less-premium cuts, which don't dry out like boneless pork loin does. Served over pasta or rice, the spinach variation is a meal in one but otherwise you'll probably want a salad. Italian greens like endive or escarole would go particularly well with these flavors. Note: written for a 6-7qt crockpot. Note 2: I don't cook with salt but usually add it at the table. I found that I needed none on this so be cautious if you choose to add salt to the pot.

Steps:
- Cut each steak into 2 or 3 pieces and trim excess fat.
- Pour one can of tomatoes into the bottom of a 6-7qt Crockpot. Top with 1/3 of each of the ingredients, ending with a layer made from half the pork steak pieces.
- Make another layer of 1/3 of everything, ending with the rest of the pork steaks.
- Finish with the remaining ingredients.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove pork steak pieces carefully (they will probably break up so tongs will work better than a fork).
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop out the veggies and serve them over pasta or rice.
- Top with Parmesan.
- Tip: If you chill the flavorful juices to remove the fat you'll have a delicious starter for soup.
- Note: I do not recommend using an extra-lean cut such as boneless pork loin for this. Extra lean meat tends to dry out in long cooking even when submerged in liquid this way.
- Note: This should be just as good made with beef chuck or chicken thighs.

Steps:
- In a small shallow bowl mix together the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt and black pepper.
- In another bowl slightly beat the egg.
- Dip the pork chop/s firstly in the egg then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Brown the chops on both sides then remove to a plate.
- Add in more oil if needed to the skillet and add in onions, garlic, green bell pepper, oregano, basil and dryed chili flakes (if using) saute for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the tomatoes with juice and tomato sauce; mix with a spoon and bring to a boil and simmer over medium-low heat for about 30-40 minutes (you can cook this for up to 1-1/2 hours if desired before adding in the chops, it only gets richer and thicker the longer the sauce is cooked for!).
- Add in the browned pork chops and cook uncovered over medium-low heat for about another 25 minutes, or until the chops are cooked to desired tenderness.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve on cooked spaghetti and top with Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Season the pork chops well. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a great starting point. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat. This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the chops and lock in the juices. Sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are done. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful. Let the chops rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. The tomato pork chops recipe is a simple and flavorful way to enjoy pork chops. The combination of juicy pork chops, tangy tomatoes, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
