DEAN'S PORK TENDERLOIN W/MUSTARD AND CORNFLAKES

Steps:

• Butterfly the pork tenderloin.
• Smear the pork tenderloin with mustard all over.
• Crush cornflakes in food processor until texture is like coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle the ternderloin with cornflakes and pat to secure crumbs.
• Cook on grill or pan for approx 15 minutes, depending on thickness.

PORK CHOPS IN CORN FLAKE CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cover baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray (or lightly coat with cooking oil).
• Dip pork chops in melted margarine.
• Coat generously with corn flake crumbs.
• Place in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• Drizzle with remaining melted butter.
• Bake for about 1 hour. You don't have to turn these over.

CHOCOLATE CORN FLAKES

Steps:

• Pour the corn flakes into a large mixing bowl, then pour about half of the bittersweet chocolate over them. Using a rubber spatula, mix until they are coated evenly. The chocolate will immediately begin to set. Once the chocolate has set, repeat with the remaining chocolate to give it second coat.
• Quickly scoop the chocolate corn flakes into small mounds onto a parchment-lined sheet pan. (It is easier to use one spoon to scoop the mounds and another spoon to scrape them onto the sheet pan.) It is important to work quickly because the mixture is easier to scoop before the chocolate hardens.
• If your kitchen is very hot, you can place the sheet pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden, however, do not leave them in the refrigerator for more than 10 minutes. If they get too cold, condensation will form on them when they are removed from the refrigerator due to the difference in temperature between the cold chocolate and the warm air, which will cause the chocolate to turn white. While this doesn't affect the taste, it does ruin the appearance.
• Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry area for up to 2 weeks.
• How to Temper Chocolate (From Dessert Circus, Extraordinary Desserts You Can Make At Home by Jacques Torres):
• Chocolate is tempered so that after it has been melted, it retains its gloss and hardens again without becoming chalky and white (that happens when the molecules of fat separate and form on top of the chocolate). There are a variety of ways to temper.
• One of the easiest ways to temper chocolate is to chop it into small pieces and then place it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time on high power until most of the chocolate is melted. Be very careful not to overheat it. (The temperature of dark chocolate should be between 88 and 90 degrees F, slightly warmer than your bottom lip. It will retain its shape even when mostly melted. White and milk chocolates melt at a temperature approximately 2 degrees F less because of the amount of lactose they contain.) Any remaining lumps will melt in the chocolate's residual heat. Use an immersion blender or whisk to break up the lumps. Usually, chocolate begins to set, or crystallize, along the side of the bowl. As it sets, mix those crystals into the melted chocolate to temper it. A glass bowl retains heat well and keeps the chocolate tempered longer.
• Another way to temper chocolate is called seeding. In this method, add small pieces of unmelted chocolate to melted chocolate. The amount of unmelted chocolate to be added depends on the temperature of the melted chocolate, but is usually 1/4 of the total amount. It is easiest to use an immersion blender for this, or a whisk.
• The classic way to temper chocolate is called tabliering. Two thirds of the melted chocolate is poured onto a marble or another cold work surface. The chocolate is spread out and worked with a spatula until its temperature is approximately 81 degrees F. At this stage, it is thick and begins to set. This tempered chocolate is then added to the remaining non-tempered chocolate and mixed thoroughly until the mass has a completely uniform temperature. If the temperature is still too high, part of the chocolate is worked further on the cold surface until the correct temperature is reached. This is a lot of work, requires a lot of room, and makes a big mess.
• A simple method of checking tempering, is to apply a small quantity of chocolate to a piece of paper or to the point of a knife. If the chocolate has been correctly tempered, it will harden evenly and show a good gloss within a few minutes.

GRANNY'S BUTTERMILK FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of pork chops lightly with seasoning salt. I like Garlic & Pepper Seasoning salt, but Lawry's is good, so is Old Bay.
• Place chops into a ziplock bag and pour in the buttermilk. Squeeze air out of the bag before you close it, and mush it around a little to make sure that all chops are coated with the buttermilk. LeT stand in the fridge for several hours.
• In a pie plate, mix together flour, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp seasoning salt. more or less to your taste.
• Heat oil in a large heavy frying pan to medium high heat. Oil should reach slightly less than 1/2 inch deep in the pan.
• Dip buttermilk coated chops in flour mixture making sure that it is completely coated. Repeat with all chops.
• When oil is hot, add chops and let cook uncovered for about 2 minutes. Turn down heat to medium low and let cook uncovered until bottoms are browned and red juices start to accumulate over the bones.
• Turn over with tongs, cover pan with a lid, then turn down heat slightly and let cook until browned on the bottoms.
• Transfer to a sheet of crinkled foil. Wrap foil loosely around chops and let rest for about 5 minutes.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. You can have your butcher cut and tenderize the tenderloin for you if you like. Here is how I do it. Cut across tenderloin strip at 3-inch intervals.
• 2. Place 1 chunk into gallon Ziploc bag and pound with flat side of meat mallet until about 3/8 inch thick.
• 3. You want it thin, when put in frying pan meat will draw up a bit and become thicker. Repeat for each chunk. 1 chunk = 1 sandwich
• 4. Place Corn Flake crumbs in a shallow bowl or on a large plate. Add salt if using and mix well; set aside. Beat egg in another shallow bowl and add a splash of milk, mix well. Set aside.
• 5. Place oil in a skillet about 1/2 inch deep and heat while breading tenderloin.
• 6. Dip the flat pieces of tenderloin, one at a time into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
• 7. Then into the Corn Flake crumbs pressing the crumbs into the meat with your hands, coating both sides.
• 8. Hold with both hands and place carefully into the hot oil. Fry on the first side until golden brown, turn and fry the second side until golden brown and meat is thoroughly cooked. Watch carefully as crumbs will burn easily.
• 9. Drain on paper towel.
• 10. Serve deluxe on extra large buns, mayo, lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced onion, and pickle. My Fave: mustard and dill pickle. Also, good with cole slaw on top.
• 11. *NOTE: My pork tenderloin was about 2 1/3 lbs. There were 2 strips of tenderloin. I cut across each strip in 3 inch intervals and got 6 chunks out of the 2 strips. I pounded out all the chunks with the flat side of a meat mallet to about 3/8 inch thick. Wrapped each in plastic wrap, then in foil and placed in a Ziploc bag for the freezer. I saved 2 for dinner. I did not bread the tenderloin I wrapped for the freezer.
