How do I jazz up pork chops?

[notnowbernardimstuffingthebird]

I think pork chops are boring on their own.

What can I do with them?

I have lots of veg to accompany, but no spuds. 2 mega-parsnips, too.

TIA!

make a chilli tomato and pineapple sauce

oor juniper berries and walnuts

roasted seasonal veg in a bit of olive oil with mixed herbs?

Mustard and honey sauce?

Apple gravy?

noodles?

stuffing balls?

(not all at once )

nigella grills hers in the pan

remove chops to hot plate

splosh in some cider

add couple of teaspoons of mustard
stri around
add some cream

pour over chops

yummy yummy pigs bummy

i'm making a stirfry tonight with pork marinated in lemon juice/soya sauce/chilli, with leeks and baby corn

I made that Nigella dish, it is piece of p*ss and good wintery food (dread to think of what it does to the arteries though)

when they are nearly cooked, add a slice of cheddar and teaspoon of apple sauce to each and return to grill for last few minutes

mint jelly over the top then grilled gives nice glaze

sprinkle rosemary on the top then cook and do minted vegetables i usually do minted as i love mint lol

or honey too on top gives nice glaze and taste

Thankyou All!

Love the idea of the Nigella one, but have no cream or cider, unfortunately

Think I will go with th roasted veg idea, and do a honey and mustard sauce thing. How much honey and mustard?

mint jelly on pork chops????

caramelised apples
or
marinade in sweet chilli sauce
or
make a cheddar and watercress sauce( or rocket)based on a white sauce and chopped watercress pinch of mustard

or

roasted garlic and bay leave rub
or
flambee in a bit of brandy

Caramelised apples.... mmm!

How do I do them?

spread with apple sauce or apricot jam, then sprinkle paxo over and bake in the oven

When nearly cooked, pop some sliced tomato on top and grated cheese. Stick under grill.

Bash them out between clingfilm. I use a rolling pin to hammer them (good stress relief!) Dip in seasoned flour, egg then stuffing mix or breadcumbs. Oven bake - delicious!

reggae reggae sauce from that nice man who was on dragons den .Pour half a bottle over the chops then leave them in the slow cooker all day. Gorgeous.

cut up eating apple into 1cm slices. remove skin .
in a frying pan add a couple of oz of butter and same of sugar. melt sugar into butter.Add slices of apple flat side down.fry until golden brown.serve with buttery juices over chargrilled or fried pork chop.

Ingredients:
pork chops
1 tsp paprika
4 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
2 tsp ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tbs finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
juice of 1 to 2 lemons
2 tbs tomato sauce

Place paprika, garlic, ground coriander,cumin, coriander leaves, lemon juice and tomato sauce into a bowl, mix until combined. Using a small sharp knife make deep cuts in the meat, spread the spice paste, cover and leave to marinade over night.
oven 180. Put meat in and roast it for about 40 mins.

Thankyou for all the of the lovely ideas. I shall be referring back to this thread

I have two brill recipes
one is posh cider (though sure merrydown would be as good!) plus cream plus mustard and a bit of thyme
cook chops, remove, reducs mustard cider thyme, add cream, put chops back in to get a bit hotter and bubbly.

other is one that I can't remember off top of head but could go and find the sticky bit of torn newsprint somewhere if you wanted -

it's endive and cider again I think and , absolutely delishous.

That sounds lush!

sorry my mistake lol not to well at moment didnt read properly although i eat mint with everything lol

This thread put me in the mood and I cooked my pork chops recipy again. This time I didn't have the ingredients to marinate ir over night so I bought them today and only had a little bit over an hour to marinate covering with the cling film. They were lovely if I may say so. i'm going to try the other recipies as well as they all sound fantastic.
