I couldn't find quite what I was looking for so I combined a couple of recipes together and made these pork chops for company the other night. The almonds make a wonderful brown crispy crust that was refreshingly different an delicious. I rarely measure when i cook so the amounts are approximate. Ingredients:
1 lb pork chop |
1 cup ground almonds |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 egg (beaten) |
1 -3 tablespoon water |
1/4 cup finely diced onion |
2 -3 garlic cloves |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges (drained and liquid reserved) |
4 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
fresh parsley (optional) |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. Mix ground almonds, salt, and peppers.
2. In a small bowl mix egg and water.
3. Spread almond coating in a shallow dish or plate.
4. Dip chops in egg wash and then dredge in almond mixture. Set aside.
5. Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions and garlic until lightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
6. Brown chops in oil over medium heat. 2-3 minutes on a side or until golden brown.
7. Meanwhile mix liquid from oranges, soy sauce, and mustard.
8. Add sauce to chops and turn heat down to low let simmer for 5 minutes or until chops are cooked through.
9. Top with mandarin oranges and fresh parsley.
