Fried Pork Chops With Buttered Beans Food

CRISPY FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork chops with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
• Pour buttermilk and hot sauce into a 9x13 pan and stir to combine. Submerge seasoned pork chops into buttermilk mixture and set aside. Refrigerate up to 6 hours, or use right away.
• In another shallow bowl, stir together flour, cornstarch, 2 teaspoons salt, paprika, 1 teaspoon black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
• Working one at a time, remove pork chops from buttermilk mixture. Shake it gently to remove the excess. Place it in the dredging mixture and coat thoroughly. Tap off the excess.
• Place the breaded chops into the 350 degree oil. Fry 2 to 3 chops at a time. The meat will drop the temperature of the oil so keep it as close to 350 degrees as possible. Fry each piece for 4 to 5 minutes, per side, until golden brown and pork is cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
• Remove from the oil and place on paper towels. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

PORK CHOPS & MUSTARDY BUTTER BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 10 mins, or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Stir through the butter beans and stock and bring to a simmer. Add the spinach. Cover and cook for 3 mins or until the spinach is wilted.
• Blitz the mixture using a hand blender for 10 secs, leaving some chunky, whole beans. Stir through the crème fraîche and mustard and season generously, then simmer for 3 mins to thicken. Set aside.
• Season the pork chops on both sides. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Hold the chops on their sides with a pair of tongs to brown the fat. Cook each one on either side for 7 mins or until cooked through. Spoon the beans onto plates, slice the pork and arrange on top.

PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
• Combine the flour and some cayenne, salt and black pepper. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, and then set aside on a plate.
• Heat the canola oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the butter. When the butter is melted and the butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 3 pork chops at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook until the chops are golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 minutes (make sure no pink juices remain). Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
• Delicious and simple! Serve with smashed new potatoes.

PORK CHOPS WITH BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups cold water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon each sugar and salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Prick the pork a few times with a fork, then soak in the brine 15 minutes; remove and pat dry. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green and wax beans and cook until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper and corn; cook 1 minute. Drain the vegetables, rinse under cold water and pat dry. Transfer to a bowl and add the kidney beans. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and cook until absorbed. Whisk in 1/2 cup water, half of the parsley, the mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt to taste. Simmer 3 minutes, then toss with the vegetables. Add the remaining parsley and season with salt and pepper.

PORK CHOPS WITH RICE AND BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper and cook until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer.
• Set aside about half of the tomato sauce mixture in a bowl. Add 3/4 cup more water and the rice to the pot and bring to a boil. Add the beans and their liquid, stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, undisturbed, until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, pierce the pork chops with a fork and rub with the vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a foil-lined broiler pan. Pour the reserved tomato mixture over the pork chops and turn to coat. Broil, without turning, until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Fluff the rice and beans with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the pork chops and rice and beans among plates and drizzle with the broiler-pan juices.

LIGHTER FRIED PORK CHOP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Season the pork chop with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and add to the skillet. Cook until golden, about 5 minutes, then flip and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes more. Give the lemon half a good squeeze over the chop.
• Next, add the cannellini beans and spinach to a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and the spinach is just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Give the beans and spinach a good squeeze of the lemon half.
• Serve the beans and spinach alongside the pork chop with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
