What should I do with my meat tonight?

[thechickencoop]

Ya know...for dinner.  I have pork chops.  What's your favorite way to prepare 'em?  And WFD everyone?

[juliayadda]

frozen pizza I want a little effort as possible

[ghostmonkey]

Breaded and baked for my pork chops.

We are having tuna steaks and some stuff with them.

[GoBigOrGoGnome]

I've done my pork chops in the oven like GM said and I've done them in the crockpot (but that would have probably need to have been started already).

We are fonduedling tonight.

[icaughtfire]

...beat it, obviously.

But if we're talking pork chops, we usually grill them. I love to marinate them in mojo, grill them & serve with yellow rice & black beans. Yum.

[Sparkly]

I don't eat much pork so I have no idea how to cook pork chops. We will either order pizza, or have frozen pizza, Mac & cheese, or tacos. Depends on how much effort I want to put in / how much of a mess I want to clean up.

[peanutmuse]

I love to do pork chops in the cast iron skillet. I do a salt water brine first to keep them moist (20-30 minutes is all they really need), and then coat them with a flour, salt, pepper and paprika mixture. Heat up some olive oil on the skillet and a few minutes on each side, depending on how thick they are. It's making my mouth water thinking about them right now...

I am doing an Asian inspired dinner tonight. Crispy beef on a bed of rice and a side of Garlic Ginger Bok Choy.

We're either having pork chops (if my meds start working) or corn dogs because H can make those.

I usually marinate pork chops in olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and pineapple juice. Then cook them on the George Foreman.

Tonight we are doing surf and turf, with twice baked potatoes and roasted asparagus.

Twice baked potatoes and roasted asparagus sounds amazing. I want that.

Turkey breast tenderloins, smashed potatoes with scallions, green beans with butter and garlic and Klondike bars for dessert. Yep, fancy dessert but DH loves them. And we've obviously been married for a while since I'm not worried about onion & garlic for dinner!

[kawaiikitsune]

icaughtfire - Get out of my head! My first thought when I saw the title was "beat it".

I usually bread and bake our pork chops. Scalloped potatoes and/or asparagus go great with chops as well.

MH & I are going to dinner with his parents tonight. No idea where yet.

[JulietRose]

Made a beef stew yesterday that slow-cooked for 12 hours. The meat is so tender, I'm excited to have it tonight with some seed bread. Everyone's dinner sounds so good it's making me hungry.

[Unknown]

I like doing a pepper and sage rub on our chops.

Tonight for us is peppercorn steak with creamed spinach and roasted red potatoes.

I've been trying to find a good crockpot recipe for beef stew. Mind sharing?

[daisy818]

We would usually marinate (there is this peaches and peppers marinade we get that is amazing) and grill. Tonight we're making Indian - probably butter chicken. Nom nom nom.

Three favorite ways of the pork chop:

• Breaded and cooked in skillet. I favor a bit of sour cream on top but they're great without (and I'm cutting back on saturated fat in my diet so there's less sour cream in my life right now anyway). Obv you can bake instead if you like. We're all about the panko for breading because we think it's the bomb-dot-com but if you like some other kind of breading, rock on.
• Cooked in skillet, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste, served with an amazing sauce made from peaches or plums with onion, brown sugar, rosemary, a bit of Captain Morgan, a touch of garlic if you want.
• Slow-cooked with fruit of choice (cherries are amazing; I prefer Chelan to Rainer but whatever nice juicy fresh sweet cherries you love will rock, just pit and halve) plus peppers (canned diced green chilis and/or sweet red/orange/yellow bell peppers, something hotter if you like) and onions (if Walla Walla sweets are in season, omg, otherwise whatever onion you like). Just a little bit of salt and pepper on the chops. A tiny bit of oil in the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking if you want. Pork roast also loves fruit and peppers. (J started a roast with apples and sweet mini peppers while I was sleeping in this morning, going to be a delicious dinner tonight!)

ETA: you can't tell I live in WA, can you? It's like I moved here and the produce assimilated me.

Sure! Let me scan the recipe and I will message it to you.

[teambrink]

H is making steak, au gratin potatoes and green beans. I'm going to be feeling it tonight and tomorrow because I haven't eaten meat in months, but it will be delicious.

[Heisenberg]

I do breaded and baked. Otherwise it might as well be jerky. I suck at cooking pork.

Tonight we're doing pizza!

[roastytoasty]

I usually marinade chops then make DH grill them. I suck at grilling. I like to marinade chicken or chops in Italian dressing- just trust me.

Tonight I did a pork roast, oven roasted asparagus and risotto. I ate sooo much fooood. But never fear, there will still be room for lemon-berry tart. Hashtag fatandhappy

[WVaRN]

Last time I made pork chops I did shake and bake. They have a pretzel shake and bake that I love. Everyone else's suggestions are making me hungry.

[brettanomyces]

I have no pork-cooking suggestions.

We're either having leftovers (slow cooked beef stew) or junk (chicken fingers and fries). Although I'm really craving matza ball soup.

So I ended up oven frying - coated chops in Greek yogurt, then shook in some breadcrumbs with parm I made. Baked for a bit. We had garlic bread and cucumbers + onions. They were good!

Sounds very delicious. 

[butlerfan]

With cream of chicken soup and milk for gravy with mashed potatoes.

For us...probably chicken provencal soup....H has a cold and it's also cold here so soup sounds good.
