I hated pork chops growing up because my dad would always cook them to the approximate texture of tree bark.
I recently scored about 6 lbs. of assorted pork chops for $1.25 (total not /lb) to try and work some magic.
So I look around my kitchen and come up with the following:
I mix some whole wheat flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a bowl and dredge the chops in the mixture.
I then brown them in my covered skillet in a little veggie oil. I then added chopped up onion, and several different kinds of peppers. I have cooked it several times and just use what I have available. I have used different color bells, serranos, and some Thai chiles that I have dried from last summer.
Saute all that for a few minutes and add some white or red wine, vegetable or chicken broth, a shake of worcestershire sauce, apple cider or balsamic vinegar and a bay leaf.
Put the cover on and simmer for 75-90 minutes and simply fabulous. You may or may not want to thicken the sauce. I use a little corn starch and water. It turned out especially nice when I cooked it on my wood burning stove. The aroma was heavenly!
