Crispy pork chops with apple, feta and balsamic

This is another one of those 'not so much a recipe, but an assembly of delicious things' kind of dishes. Which I love because you get great results with minimal effort. Only two components actually require cooking (the pork and the apple). You only need one frying pan (less cleanup, yay!). And the dish is done in 15 minutes, so you can get to eating asap. And you'll probably want to get eating asap, because it's really delicious. Seriously. Crispy pork, sweet apple, tart balsamic, and funky cheese...my family devoured it in no time.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Season the pork with salt, then set up your dredging station. First station should be flour mixed with a little salt. Second station should be egg beaten with a little salt and a few tbsp cold water. Third station should be panko mixed with a little salt and several grinds of black pepper. Run the chops though each station and lay them out on a parchment lined tray.

Add a good splash of veg oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter. Let it melt a bit, then add the chops. If you have to do them in stages because they don't all fit, that's fine. Fry the chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they're golden and crispy. Remove the chops to a rack or paper-towel lined plate to drain.

Wipe the pan clean and add a fresh knob of butter. Throw in the apples and fry them for 1 minute. Re: the apples, use a sweet firm apple such as Ambrosia or Honeycrisp. Pour in the wine and add a pinch of salt and continue frying until all the liquid evaporates, about another minute. Remove the apples to a bowl. Add the parsley and feta and stir to combine.

To serve, top a chop with a couple of spoonfuls of the apple and feta. Drizzle a tsp or so of balsamic on top. If you don't have aged balsamic, simmer regular balsamic in a small pot until reduced by about half. Garnish with a spoonful of pesto.

Sautéed Pork with Balsamic Vinegar and Kiwi Sauce Sautéed Pork with Balsamic Vinegar and Kiwi Sauce
I made a delicious dessert with lightly heated kiwi and balsamic vinegar so I tried using it as a sauce for sautéed pork.Kiwi has plenty of vitamins C and E, dietary fiber and calcium. It is said that eating meat or fish with kiwi facilitates digestion due to the protein-breaking enzymes in kiwi. Recipe by Banbi cookpad.japan -

Balsamic Glazed Brined Pork Chops Balsamic Glazed Brined Pork Chops
Adapted this recipe from Epicurious. The original used some weird ingredients like "Treviso raddichio" and "Belgian endives" that I've never heard of and have essentially no chance of finding here, so I just dropped them. I also have no energy to fire up the charcoal grill so I just did this over a pan. 🇮🇹 蛟龍Stormwyrm -
Baked pork chop, feta, tomato, honey, truffled potatoes & grapes Baked pork chop, feta, tomato, honey, truffled potatoes & grapes
I don't often plan complete dishes in my head. Usually it's just one component, like the main, and everything else is almost afterthought. That wasn't the case here, as this complete dish came to me in the middle of the veg aisle at a local supermarket. Maybe it had something to do with all the meds coursing through my system, that'd I'd taken to fight the first nasty cold of 2022, but whatever. I'll take it. It was nice going into the kitchen knowing exactly what needed to be done. Maybe I should cook more often while hopped up on cold meds. Robert Gonzal -
