the missis as left me in charge of tonights tea on account of her being on lates....so without using chips or egg what else can i do with the chops she's left out to defrost??? if it was upto me i'd just order a ruby

I guess cooking them in some way would improve the texture and flavour!

We normally grill the chops (Or George Formby)
Add pepper as they cook, do some nice mushrooms chips and beans, can't go wrong.

With the chops stick em under the grill until they're cooked to the way you want em.
While they're cooking take some Red Leicester cheese (or whatever you like) and cut a thickish slab off (one slab for each chop), about 5mm thick.
Make sure you've got some apple sauce handy too.

When the chops are done, take a tea spoon of apple sauce and place this on each chop, spreading thickly and evenly over each chop.
Next place the slabs of cheese and place them on each of the chops.

Put back under the grill until the cheese has melted.... phookin lovely.

Eat them with some creamy mash potato's and some sweetcorn and peas and nice thick gravy (plain/onion or mushroom).

Trust me... this meal (which I've made quite a lot) tastes amazing.

Take em round to the nearest synagogue or mosque, that might be an interesting thing to do with em............Ooooops Im being naughty again.

honey and grain mustard glaze

Remember golden rule when cooking meat:

When it's brown it's cooked.

When it's black it's Fu****

This works better with pork escalops, but i'm sure it would be fine with chops too.

Season some plain flour with salt and pepper and lightly coat the chops.

Fry these off in some butter.

Add a tin of tomatoes, with some basil and some veg stock and a bit of white wine.

Cover and let it cook - lovely over some nice rice.

Put them in some foil, with sliced onion rings on top, and bake in the oven. Remove top of foil for last 15-20 minutes to brown. Eat with vegetables to hand. This method softens the pork chops and is preferable to grilling.

Enjoy!

Scallops? pork does not go very well with fish though.

Pan fry them, 5-10 mins a side depending on how thick they are. Prick with a knife to make sure the juice is clear, not pink.

Put them on a spare plate and make a sauce :

Fry 1/2 chopped onion (or half a dozen shallots) for 5 mins
Throw in some apple slices and fry for another 2-3 mins
Sprinkle some flour over the apples and onions (optional)
Pour in half a pint of dry cider, bring to the boil and simmer for 3 mins.
Put the chops in the sauce, add a smidgen of pepper and warm through for 3 mins

Serve with tinned tatties and green beans.

hows the new job going mate? thanks for the pm about my punctuation i'm working on it as we speak,do i get a gold star when i can right proper english?

It's often said that the flavour that goes best with pork is apple. Therefore you might like to try cooking them in some form of apple cider. A nice Brambley apple sauce on the side and some wholegrain English mustard would be good. Maybe a bit of fresh sage?

Wer'e talking Kirky here, not Eggon chuffin Ronay :hihi: :hihi:

Sorry - maybe just cook then in some apple cider and have them with some mustard cheddar mash potatoes?

Marinade for an hour or more in a mixture of English Mustard and Sweet Soy Sauce.
Wash off, then grill.

You have started me off you lot.

We are having DBs menu for tea today, so going shopping soon, (fresh pork chops from the butchers)

Hope i dont finish up with Turkey trotts, like Fred Elliot.

:thumbsup: oh yes;)

Glad you enjoyed it mate... tastes phookin fab dunnit :thumbsup:

Forget the cider marinade - drink it first then you won't really care what you're eating! Anyone had any of that Red Ruby in the Cat. Blimey.

We had it last night:
2 pork chops + 6 links of pork sausage, apple sauce with cheese, new potatoes and green beans,now gone onto the cooking favourites list

A question like what interesting things you can do with pork chops deserves some interesting answers.
Trouble is , it's hard to think of any clean ones that'd get past the censors.

I tried to show you what a scallop was, but made a right A*** of it.
Anyway ask Jeeves what a scallop is :thumbsup:

Scallop, scollop and escallop all mean the same thing - "fan shaped".

Can apply to shellfish, thin slices of meat or sliced potatos.

So everybody's right :thumbsup:

Yes, take three pork chops and nail them to a tree in a vertical line. Take ten paces backwards, if space allows. Look at the chops.

That's it.

Substitute stuffing and apple sauce for onion rings.... :thumbsup:

If feeling impatient, grill to finish
