This is probably the easiest way to cook pork chops – simply beat them up, dust with flour and fry until ready. Actually you can fry any kind of pork meat like this: pork loin slices, pork chops, cutlets, shoulder parts, etc.
For thicker meat cut increase cooking time: it is important to cook pork thoroughly, when cut with a knife it should produce clear juices, especially near the bone.
Lemon juice gives pork meat a nice sour kick in taste; garnishing with chopped greens looks pretty, but is absolutely optional.
Ingredients:
- 6 pork chops (about 1.5lb) thin cut bone in
- About 1/3 cup of flour
- 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon of chopped greens for garnishing: fresh dill, parsley, etc
