Description
These are my Nana Lulu’s signature pan-fried pork chops served with sauerkraut and beans. It’s such a simple and incredible one-pan dish!
Ingredients
- FOR THE PORK CHOPS:
- 6 whole Pork Chops, Bone-in Center Cut
- 1 cup Dijon Mustard
- 1 cup Seasoned Breadcrumbs
- Vegetable Or Canola Oil, As Needed For Pan Frying
- FOR THE SAUERKRAUT
- 1 jar (24 Oz. Size) Sauerkraut
- 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Red Kidney Beans, Drained
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 dash White Wine
Preparation
1. First, bread the pork chops. Set up a breading line with the mustard in one shallow bowl, then the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl and then a board to set the finished breaded pork chops onto. Put each pork chop through the breading procedure by first coating them in the mustard, then in the breadcrumbs, and then setting them on the board.
2. Let the pork chops sit to let the breading set for 10 minutes. While they sit, get a big sturdy cast iron skillet on the stove and fill it with about an inch of vegetable or canola oil. Get the oil nice and hot over medium high heat.
3. Once the oil is hot, pan fry the pork chops in batches of 2 or 3 so the pan isn’t crowded. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, then gently flip them to cook another 4 minutes on the other side. Remove them to a board lined with paper towels and tent them with foil to keep them hot while you cook the next batches.
4. When all the pork chops are done and tented, pour the sauerkraut and beans into the hot skillet, then add the salt and white wine. Let the mixture cook for 10 minutes to get tender, stirring occasionally.
5. To serve, just scoop a nice portion of the sauerkraut and make a little bed out of it on a plate. Then place a pork chop on top and serve!
