Pork Chops



Pork Chops with Apples and Mashruni Sauce

Get some fresh chops from the grocery store or a butcher.
Place two in a large zip lock bag - do not zip.
Beat the chops with a meat tenderizer of meat mallet so they become nice and soft and increase in surface area.
In a bowl - mix an egg, some milk, salt, pepper
On a large plate - spread some bread crumbs and some flower, add a bit of salt, some finely chopped fresh dill and parsley, add some garlic powder or onion powder if you wish
Dip the chop in the egg-milk mix (drench it)
Flip it around in the crumbs-flower mix
Place it on a pre-heated skillet with olive oil (I used sunflower oil - i like the taste better)
Golden brown it on one side for a few minutes on medium to low heat.
Now do the same to the other side.
Pork cooks fast so you only need about 7-10 minutes on each side.
Throw in a few slices of green Granny Smith apples
Cover and let sit on low heat for a few minutes.
The meat should be white and tender inside, and golden (not necessarily crispy) on the outside.
The Sauce:
Slice an onion and sautee on medium heat with butter and salt in a small pan.
Add one or two green onions (scallions), add some mushrooms (shiitake add the best flavor - dried shiitake are good for this).
Throw in some chopped dill and parsley, some spices and herbs
Salt, pepper.
When the butter is fully absorbed add about four tablespoons of soy sauce.
Let all that sautee and sizzle.
In a bowl mix some stock or broth (beef, chicken or veggie - your choice)
Add a tablespoon of mayonnaise, mix untill the liquid is white like milk.
Slowly add the mixture to the pan
It will take in the soy sauce and sauteed juices and turn brown.
Slowly keep adding the mixture.
Keep the sauce on low heat for a few more minutes.
Taste for salt and spice.
All together this is an amazing meal...its delicious, its juicy and soft and not very hard to make. Everybody loved it, the sauce turned out "magical" according to one guest.
