Pork Chops With Aubergine Recipes

EASY PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Mix together the flour, black pepper, seasoning salt and salt on a plate.
• Sprinkle the pork chops with a little salt and black pepper on both sides, then, one at a time, dredge in the flour mixture and set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, cook the pork chops in groups of 4, until golden on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes total. Keep the chops warm in the oven until they are all cooked, then serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH BEER SAUERKRAUT

Steps:

• Combine the paprika, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Season both sides of the pork with this spice mixture.
• Add the oil to the preheated skillet. Add the pork in a single layer in the pan. Cook, without moving, until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip the meat and scoot to the outer edges of the pan. To the open space in the middle, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally.
• Add the sauerkraut and continue cooking until the onions have softened and the sauerkraut turns golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the beer and deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to get up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the sauce reduces slightly, about 30 seconds.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Serve the pork chops topped with the sauerkraut mixture, any accumulated juices and mustard.

SPICY PORK & AUBERGINE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan with a lid. Tip in the onions and aubergine and fry for 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown.
• Tip in the pork and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown. Mix in the pepper strips and stir fry for about 3 minutes until soft.
• Sprinkle in the curry powder. Stir fry for a minute, then pour in the tomatoes and water. Stir vigorously, cover the pan and leave the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down to form a thick sauce (you can add a drop more water if the mixture gets too thick). Season with salt and pepper and serve with basmati rice.

PORK CHOPS WITH AUBERGINE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, tip in the aubergine then fry over a medium heat for 5 mins until soft and golden. Pour in the vinegar. Once the bubbling subsides, stir in the sugar, followed by the tomatoes, basil and seasoning to taste. Stir well and cook over high heat for 5 mins, until the sauce has thickened.
• Meanwhile, heat the grill to medium and season the pork. Place the chops under the grill for 15 mins, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through. Serve the chops with the aubergines on the side.

PORK AND EGGPLANT IN HOT GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel eggplant and slice into pieces approximately 1x2 inches and 1/4 inch thick. If using Asian eggplants, peel and slice into 1/4 slices.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick wok or large skillet. Stir-fry eggplant strips until soft, drain, leaving oil in pan. Set eggplant aside.
• Toss garlic and ginger in the hot oil. As soon as it turns fragrant add the pork and toss until just cooked through.
• Add eggplant back to pan, stir to combine pork and eggplant.
• Add remaining ingredients (except garnishes) and stir. Turn off heat and let mixture sit for a couple of minutes to blend flavors.
• Plate the eggplant and sprinkle with garnishes.

HONEY-DIJON PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Mix Dijon mustard, honey, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Arrange pork chops in prepared baking dish and pour mustard mixture over pork.
• Bake in preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
