Yeah, apples and pork works well together. Recipe Czar has a great recipe for Greek Roasted Potatoes that is pretty close to what you did and just about as easy for oven roasted potatoes. When I make them I replace the salt and pepper with Greek seasoning in an equal measure.
Makes me wish I had some pork chops or pork steaks on hand. -----Original Message----- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Carla Jo Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 6:16 PM To: cooking in the dark Subject: [CnD] my dinner tonight I am trying to use what I have in my freezer and use stuff before it ruins. So, tonight, here's what I did. I took my all time favorite pan and put about 1 and 1/2 cups apple juice in it. This is a 4 quart sauté pan. I turned up on high, brought to a boil, reduced it a bit and let it go, reducing and concentrating that apple juice, it turned a dark Carmel brown and smelled like heaven. I had 2 bone in pork chops, thawed, room tem and just salted and peppered them. I brought that reduced juice back up to pretty hot as I wanted a good sere on those chops. Laid those bad boys in there and let them go for about 6 to 7 minutes, turned them over, let them sere on that side for just about 2 minutes, reduced the heat to really low, covered it and let it go for about 10 minutes. I want my pork done, but not dry, and these chops were about an inch thick with some good fat on them. Before that I had taken my mandolin slicer, sliced up 2 kind of big new potatoes, some of y'all may call them red potatoes, I laid them on a single layer on a cookie sheet that was sprayed with Pam, drizzled a bit of olive oil on them, sprinkled them with some pepper and some smoked salt. This is a salt I bought somewhere when I was with my friend Mary. It is great to have on hand. I popped the taters in the oven at around 400, I wanted them to cook quick and crispy. Add a salad and we are done. cj _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
