FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Put your cup of flour in a shallow pan and whisk in black pepper, salt and garlic powder. Dredge the pork chops in the flour until fully covered on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet. Brown chops on both sides, turn down heat, cover your skillet and let cook for about 15 minutes until chops are thoroughly cooked. Remove chops from pan, place on plate and cover to keep warm.
• Make sure you have at least 1/4 cup of drippings in the pan (can add more oil, if needed) Add enough flour to make a roux or paste (I use any leftover flour from dredging plus more if needed). Cook and stir until flour is browned. Add water and milk. Bring to boil and cook to desired thickness for gravy. Makes about 2 1/2 cups gravy. Serve over chops, potatoes, rice, etc.

"FRIED" PORK CHOPS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• In a blender combine the marinade ingredients. Blend until smooth.
• Place pork chops in a resealable bag and add marinade. Squeeze out as much air as you can and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Remove chops from bag and discard marinade. Blot chops with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
• Place well-beaten eggs in a pie plate. Combine pancake mix, paprika, and salt in another pie plate.
• Dip each chop in pancake mix, shake off excess. Dip in egg, coating both sides. Dip in pancake mix again, coating well. Move to wire rack to set for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spray a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick spray. Put the butter in the baking dish and place in the preheated oven to melt.
• Place chops in one layer in melted butter in baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn chops over carefully and bake for 10 minutes more. Remove to wire rack placed over paper towels to drain.
• In a saucepan over medium high heat combine 2 tablespoons drippings from baking pan with flour. Stir to make a smooth paste. Add chicken broth, beef granules, marjoram and sage. Bring to a boil, turn heat down, simmer and whisk until thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Serve chops with mashed potatoes and pass the gravy. Enjoy.

COUNTRY FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix flour, paprika, pepper, salt, and cayenne together in a shallow plate.
• Beat eggs and hot sauce together in a small bowl, transfer to a shallow plate.
• Lightly cover a pork chop in plastic wrap and bash it with the flat side of a meat hammer (from the middle outward) until it is half the thickness it was when you began.
• Repeat with other pork chops.
• Add enough oil in a heavy high sided pan (like a Dutch oven) to reach half way up the pork chop.
• Dredge each pork chop in flour, egg, then flour again and place on a rack. Allow to dry for about 5 minutes while your oil is heating.
• Pre-heat oil until it reaches 360 F.
• Carefully slip one pork chop into the oil and set a timer for 5 minutes. Ideally, you want the temperature to stay between 360-375 F so keep a close eye on it.
• When the timer beeps, carefully flip the pork chop over and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel covered plate.
• Repeat with the rest of the pork chops, adjusting the temperature as needed.
• Enjoy with more hot sauce.

KIRSTEN'S FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH COUNTRY GRAVY

Steps:

• To make the brine: Put the water in a large bowl and stir in the salt and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the ice cubes and cool the mixture to at least 45 degrees F. Submerge the pork chops in the brine. Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 4. Remove the pork chops from the brine, pat dry, and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until ready to cook. To make the gravy: In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula or fork. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat and discard. Reserve the fat in a cup for cooking chops. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet; stir to coat. Gradually stir in the half-and-half, nutmeg and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add more half-and-half if the sauce becomes too thick. Season, to taste, with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Cover the skillet and set aside while you cook the chops. Sprinkle the chops generously with pepper. Dredge then in the flour, shaking off excess. In a large, heavy skillet, heat the reserved fat plus additional oil to a depth of 1/8-inch over medium-high heat. Put the chops in the pan, as many as will fit without crowding, and fry until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. If you're cooking more than one batch of chops, keep the fried chops warm in a preheated 250 degrees F oven. To serve, put 1 chop on each diner's plate (you will have 2 remaining for second helpings) and spoon the gravy over them. Serve extra gravy on the side to pour biscuits or grits.;
