So tonight I have pork chops, but no BBQ sauce. Ok there goes the idea of that. Let me look in the spice cabinet and what other ingredients I have to use. Sometimes, just throwing different ingredients into your recipe works without you even knowing.
I decided to make Italian pork chops. Then I had some leftover peeled and cooked potatoes, so let's turn them into homefries. Now I have peas and green beans, so lets spice those up and make some garlic powder green beans. My favorite part about cooking is adding flavor. Spices, oils, and vinegars are amazing to use when cooking.
Here is what I came up with tonight:
Italian Pork Chops
1/2 onion
6 garlic cloves
olive oil
chicken bouillion
lemon juice
garlic powder
basil
parsley
oregano
salt
pepper
Start by putting oil in the pan. Then cut onion into strips and cut and smash 6 garlic cloves and add to the pan. Get the pan nice and hot and start browning the onion and garlic. Throw in the pork chops and add all the spices to the one side and then hit it with a splash of lemon juice. Brown on the one side and then flip it and hit it with spices and lemon juice again. Meanwhile get a baking dish out and mix hot water with a chicken bouillon with it. Only put less than an inch in the water as you will be adding in the drippings into the baking pan after you are done browning. Once the other side of the pork chop is done browning, transfer the pork into the baking pan and then put the scrapings on top. Cover with foil and bake on 350 for about 30-40 minutes. With the stock and the prebrowning, it keeps the pork so moist and with a great taste!
