Pork Chops

Pork chops are slices of meat with the bone, cut from the loin section of the pig along the spine. They are among the most popular and versatile cuts of pork in both home and restaurant cooking. Pork chops cook quickly, they can be pan-fried, grilled, or oven-roasted. The meat is tender, slightly fatty, and juicy. They are classically breaded and fried in lard or oil, but equally delicious seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and garlic. Common accompaniments include mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, or potato salad. A timeless staple of Central European cuisine.
