This Week…A Little Pre-Halloween Devil For Dinner

 

In an attempt to revisit some of my previously prepared meals, I found this old one. 

Since it’s Fall (well, in some places it is), I love making dishes using apples. 
Use any type of cooking apple!

Make sure your pork chops are at least ½ inch thick so they won’t be dry. 

If you don’t have watercress, use parsley or even cilantro. 



 

Deviled Pork Chops


INGREDIENTS

Butter

1 Medium Red cooking apple, cut into wedges

1 Pound mushrooms, sliced

¼ tsp pepper

Salt

4 Pork Chops-½” thick. If they are too thick, butterfly them (slice horizontally)

½ cup Mayonnaise

⅓ cup Bread crumbs

1 Tbls chopped watercress

1 Tbls Mustard

⅛ tsp Paprika

 

DIRECTIONS

In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter and cook the apple wedges in the butter over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until fork-tender, turning once. Remove the apples, place them on a platter, and keep warm. 

 

IN the same skillet, melt more butter and sauté the mushrooms, salt and pepper for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and place them on the platter with the apples to keep warm. 

Preheat the broiler and broil the pork chops for about 10 minutes, turning once. 

Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, bread crumbs, watercress, mustard, paprika, and salt with a fork.
Spread this mixture over the pork chops and broil for about one minute until the topping is hot and bubbly. 

 

 

Serve on a platter with the apples and mushrooms. 

 

Enjoy!

Good morning Kathy. The apple got my attention but the mushrooms sealed the deal, Sounds like a great way to enjoy pork chops all year round.

Wayne Martin Larry loves mushrooms too. This is a favorite dish of mine but I got out of the habit in making it.

Even though I do not celebrate this holiday, those pork chops look really good, and I would have one if offered to me, haha.

Funny you should mention that, Kathy Streib since I did that a couple of years ago, haha.  I have gourmet meals that are low-carb and healthy; all I have to do is put them in the oven, and I have a delicious meal to enjoy, haha.

Good morning, Kathy... sounds like an amazing recipe for pork, which I don't eat. But my husband does. So I'm saving it to make for him.

Kathy Streib hadn't thought of that, so thanks for the idea.

Nina Hollander, Broker I hope Chris likes it. You could put the same topping on a chicken breast!!

I don't like pork, but Larry has it occasionally and recently made it. He should have had your recipe because he really didn't like the way his came out!

Lawrence & Sheila Agranoff So you have an air fryer?  I often put mine in there. Rub your spices on, a little olive oil then 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Good morning Kathy,

What a great recipe to share! I love pork and this sounds like an amazing way to cook fall for the Fall or really any time of the year!

When I ate meat I had two favorites...a pastrami sandwich (from the Carnegie Deli in NYC) and a thick center cut pork chop (Perry's Steakhouse in Houston is right up there).

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty Larry and I haven't tried Perry's yet but I understand the pork chops are a big hit there!!!  I don't eat that much meat so if we went, I'd either share it with Larry or end up taking it home.

Kathy, this recipe looks really good, and should make it when I get back home.

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner it really is easy to make. I cut it in half for just Larry and me.
