MARC'S CHOPS

Steps:

• Brown sliced onions in butter until caramelized. Add garlic and saute for another 5 minutes.
• Dip trimmed chops in milk, then roll in flour. Place in single layer in 9x13 baking pan. Smother with sauteed onion mixture, and sprinkle with seasoned salt, pepper, rosemary, and sage. Place bay leaves on top of onion mixture. Lightly sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons flour, then top with an even layer of sliced potatoes. Mix broth, cider, and sherry and pour over potatoes.
• Bake covered at 350 degrees for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until pork and potatoes are done.

MARCI'S GINGER ALE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Buy Chops 1" thick.
• Coarsely chop the walnuts.
• Sprinkle ground ginger all over the pork chops.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet, and brown the chops over medium-high heat, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the chops to an oven-proof baking dish.
• Add the ginger ale, fresh ginger, and crystallized ginger to the skillet, and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour this over the chops, put it in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle the walnuts and raisins over the chops and bake an additional 15 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to a serving platter and keep warm.
• Add the cream to the baking pan and place it over high heat.
• Cook, scraping up the brown bits, until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Pour over the chops and serve immediately.
• NOTE: Since the crystallized ginger is rather expensive, look for it in an Asian food store, where it should be less than a supermarket.
• ENJOY!
