golden fried pork chops

This recipe might not be for the very health conscious but it is very good and if you decide to treat yourself, this is the perfect recipe to make for a comfort meal. This recipe goes great with grannie's mashed potato recipe.

Ingredients
2lbs pork chops about 4, 8oz pieces (with or without bone)
1 cup of vodka
Vegeta seasoning
Ground black pepper
Matzo meal
eggs
corn oil

I used pork chops on the bone for my recipe. After washing the meat, I tenderized it with a meat hammer and then left in a pan with about a cup of vodka for 2 hours. The meat should not be swimming but the vodka will continue the tenderizing process and will give you soft juicy meat when cooked. This process can be used for any thick cuts of meat like steak, lamb, pork etc. After 2 hours remove the meat from the pan and drain any excess liquid and rub each pork chop with the vegeta seasoning and ground black pepper and let sit over night in the refrigerator.














The next day prep an egg wash by beating 2 eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper and pan with some matzo meal or cake meal ( might only be available during passover). Have a large frying pan pre-heating with a generous amount of corn oil. Take each pork chop and drop in the egg wash and then proceed directly to the dry matzo meal coating and straight into the pan.













Remember if you add some salt to the oil in the pan it will not pop or spray as much. continue with the other pork chops until pan is full. cook about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and delicous. Might need to be flipped a couple of times so it all cooks evenly.













When done let stand and cool for a few minutes before serving. They should soft, juicy and making your mouth water just looking at them. As I mentioned before, goes great with mashed potatoes but can be served with rice or salad if you are trying to mitigate how bad you want to be.


















Enjoy this recipe and until next time... keep on cooking.
