Pork Chop Recipe Wanted...

Christie23

One of my favorite pork chop recipes was Apricot Pork, where you browned them and then sauteed them in fresh apricots, honey and garlic. But, apricots are super expensive right now because they're not really in season. (Not to mention, hard to find...) So, I was just wondering what everyone's favorite healthy pork chop recipe is?

The other: Coat chops (boneless) in dijon mustard and a little salt & pepper. Then dip in panko crumbs (brown in the oven first i spray a little Pam olive oil on them and broil for a couple minutes) Then bake at 375 for 25-45 minutes depending on the thickness.

I don't know why but my favorite is just a bit of olive oil in a pan and sear them up for a few minutes. Delicious!

Not sure if this will fit your tatebuds, but I make a chile verde (green chile) with all types of pork. I chop the pork up in bite-size pieces, season with pepper then throw them in a pan with green chile sauce. You can use the jar stuff they have a most markets, or make your own. Here's the recipe I use for my green chile:
**note: this makes a LARGE bowl, but we use it on everything!

6 to 10 tomatillos
1-4 jalapenos (depending on how much heat you want)
1/2 cup onions
2 large cloves garlic
about 1 cup cilantro (or more if desired)
salt

Peel and wash tomatillos then boil with garlic and jalapenos until they change color. pour a bit of the water they've boiled in into a blender along with tomatillos, onions, garlic and cilanto. Start with 1 jalapeno. Add more to get desired heat. Add salt to taste.

Use this over eggs, beans, on pork, for tacos and burritos, or just for chips and salsa. I bake my own tortilla chips! cut up corn tortillas into triangles. place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spray cooking spray over tortillas then add salt, if desired. Cook at 350 for aprox 15 minutes or until brown and crispy.
