What's Your Favorite Pork Chop Recipe?

[jrstephens]

I have some in my frig to cook tonight. I would love something other than fried or plain baked or grilled. But nothing that requires a lot of fuss either. This is m first day back to work since I have been off from June 7th and I am in no mood to cook! ha!

You could microwave them like the 10 minute pork tenderloin.

Here is something easy that we love:

Brown them in a skillet, and then make a sauce of a little Balsamic Vinegar, some Dijon Mustard, and a little brown sugar...saute them in that until they are well coated and the sauce has turned to a glaze.....yummy! This was a much requested recipe when I was a Personal Chef.....sorry I don't have exact measurements!

Yes, it is grilled, but I did pork chops the other night with the BBQ rub... Yum!

Ooohh-- that sounds yummy, Becky. Too bad all the chops at my house are frozen solid.

That's why I love the defrost button on my microwave!

That sounds good. I do not have Balsamic Vinegar - any substitutions? I have White and Apple Cider.

I have cooked the tenderloin so much I think am making my family sick of that way!! HAHA!!

If you have Rice Vinegar, you could sub. that....but I wouldn't sub the others - they are much stronger (more astringent) than the Balsamic.....unless you added more brown sugar - that might work then - but NOT with the white vinegar! Use the Apple Cider vinegar - maybe cut it half and half w/ apple juice....okay I'm thinking out loud, is this making any sense?

That does sound good Becky! I never thought to use dijon too, but I always use brown sugar. My DH doesn't like anything on them- just fried, so I brown both chops in oil, then transfer mine to a different pan and sprinkle brown sugar on it. YUMMY!!
