Pork chops

[warpig3]

does anyone have a nice recipe for pork chops, I am cooking for four so something that involved putting them in the oven or slow cooker would be good, less hassle for me. The chops aren't to big or thick so I will be using 8 of them, any ideas?

many thanks

Not a big fan of pork chops myself, but on the odd occasion that I do cook them, I just put them in the oven!
You can get seasoning specifically for pork which does help, but I think that the accompaniments make the meal.
Try roasting new potatoes with baking apples, onions and paprika, macaroni cheese and salad/veg.
Whole meal in 30 mins!

JB, I am not a fan either but these people are guests for 10 days (aaaaggggghhhhhhh!) and I am trying to vary the meat, They are really big meat eaters (hate fish) so am trying to cover all options.

many thanks

warpig, what were you thinking?! Guests? for 10 days?! I am pushing people out of the door after 10 mins!

Haha, good luck. I prefer to grill, but my partner makes delicious chops in the oven: just pops them on a tray, seasons with salt, pepper and BBQ seasoning (most supermarkets will have this) and roasts for an hour slowly. You can also place some peppers, red onion/shallots, tomatoes, parsnips, courgette etc around the meat so they can roast in the juices. Yum!

LOL leelapops, they are mrwarpigs parents, he booked them over on a one way flight, aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggghhhhhhhhhh! They are lovely really, but as a good friend of mine said, guests are like fish, after a couple of days they start to stink!

Roast vegetables, thats a great idea, too, wonder what would happen if i plonked (new culinary term) everything in the slow cooker along with some seasoning, veggies and all?

I generally cook them in the oven then when they're done I put some apple sauce on them, top that with cheese and grill them until the cheese melts - delicious!

I give them a crispy, herby coating. Dip chops in flour, then beaten egg then a coating that is made of breadcrumbs (bought or handmade) mixed with herbs of your choice, dry herbs seem to work better. I serve with roast pots and roast veg and gravy, mmmmmmm!

[warpig3]

That sounds lovely chewbacca, how do you cook them, grill, fry or oven bake?

some nice ideas on this website if you have a slow cooker.

I seal mine quickly in a dry frying pan then put in slow cooker with sliced cooking apple , a chicken stock cube and a small can of cider plus seaoning to taste(I use very little salt some black pepper sage and a sprig or two of thyme) about half an hour before you are ready to serve thicken the sauce with cornflower(mix it with a little water or stock first)and let it heat up again to thicken nicely always a popular dinner party recipe this one.
