How often do you find a recipe that makes life simpler?
Fried pork
chops are delicious, but take a fair bit of attention. I was surprised, and so pleased, the
first time I baked them in the oven.
If the
pork chops are marinated, you just cover them, stick them in at 350F, and bake
them for 15 minutes. Then, uncover, and
turn them. Bake uncovered for 25 more
minutes. Perfect!
If the pork chops aren’t marinated,
drizzle them with ¼ cup white wine, stock, or water and sprinkle with salt and
pepper. Then cover them, and proceed as
above.
Of
course, you’ve already cooked your potatoes and another side dish. So, when you
put the pork chops in the oven, you also put the potatoes into the oven to
reheat. Now, you’re able to sit down
with guests and enjoy a pre-dinner drink and chat. Ahhh!
Oh, but remember to put your other vegetable side dish into the oven to reheat
about 20 minutes before serving
time. J

We’re off next to Charleston.
We have a long flight ahead, but I’m armed. A book I reserved just came in for me at the library.
