A lot of my friends think that pork chop dishes are hard to come up with. I disagree, of course, because pork chop can be prepared in a variety of ways. Once you’ve learned them all, you will always find the perfect excuse to cook it.
According to our friend Dara of Cookin Canuck:
“If you had looked around here a couple of years ago, you wouldn’t have found any recipes for pork chops, but ever since I realized how good pork chops can be when you don’t overcook them, I haven’t been able to stop coming up with recipes. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that my boys actually fist pump when I tell them we’re having pork chops for dinner.”
I agree with you, Dara! Pork chop is an all-around dish. Once you start to realize how good it is, you will have fun thinking of recipes that will allow you to serve it.
