Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the milk, garlic, white wine, red pepper, paprika, and 1 teaspoon salt and stir well. Add the pork chops and soak at room temperature while assembling the remaining ingredients, at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a lightly greased wire rack on top of the baking sheet and set aside.
  3. In a large sealable plastic bag, add the bread crumbs, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, the black pepper, Essence, and cheese and shake to combine. Drain the pork chops from the milk mixture, one at a time, and add to the bread crumb mixture. Shake to coat thoroughly. (You may need to press the mixture into the chops with your hands.)
  4. Arrange the pork chops on the baking rack and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and the breading is crisp and golden.
  5. Serve with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Smothered Green Peas.
  6. Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
  7. 3 heads garlic, top 1/2-inch cut away
  8. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  9. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  10. 2 pounds baking potatoes, like russets or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  11. 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  12. 3/4 cup heavy cream
  13. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  14. Place the garlic on a pie pan and drizzle with the oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and roast for until the garlic is very tender and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the head to release the cloves into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the garlic until smooth.
  15. Place the potatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt in a medium pot and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander. Return the saucepan and over medium heat, cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the mashed garlic and butter, and mash using a hand-held masher. Add the cream and continue to mash until thoroughly combined and the desired consistency is reached. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
  16. Yield: 6 servings
  17. Smothered Green Peas:
  18. 2 slices bacon, diced
  19. 1/4 cup diced ham
  20. 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  21. 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  22. 4 cups fresh or frozen sweet green peas
  23. 1 cup chicken stock
  24. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  25. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  26. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until the fat begins to render and turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the ham, onion and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peas, stock, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until the peas are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a warm dish for serving.
