Pork chops...he wants pork chops...
In an effort to eat less red meat we decided to give pork chops a try. Not knowing my dislike for pork chops, my darling husband/best friend suggested we have some this week. This was a challenge for me. I wanted to create a recipe that would make a pork chop that even I would like. And I did...
Pork Chops My Way
4 Boneless pork chops
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon adobe chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper.
Pat the chops as dry as you can. On one side I sprinkled the garlic powder, adobe chili powder and the rosemary. I turned them over and put salt and pepper on the other side. I did about 5 grinds each. I then brought about one tablespoon of canola oil (cover the bottom of your skillet) to medium high and fried the chops for about 4 minutes each side. Use your thermometer and bring them to 160 degrees.
They turned out very moist and flavorful. I was very pleased.
Just in case the pork was disappointing I made sides that I knew could never disappoint. Garlic smashed potatoes and bacon asparagus...yummmmm
Good meal. And a keeper. Who knew I could like a pork chop?
