Farmhouse Fried Pork And Apples Recipes

Steps:

• Rub the pork steaks with a little oil and season with pepper and salt to taste. Heat a large frying pan and fry the steaks for 2 mins on both sides until golden. Transfer to a plate. Adding a little more oil to the pan, fry the apples, onions and sage for 5 mins or until the apples have softened.
• Pour in the stock and spoon in the mustard, then return the pork to the pan and simmer for 10 mins until the sauce has reduced by about a third and the pork is cooked through. Serve with veg and mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Heat 2 to 3 inches Crisco to 365°F in deep fryer.Pound each chop to 1/4 inch thickness with meat mallet. Slice apple into 6 rings.Combine eggs and milk in shallow bowl or pie plate. Mix well. Dip pork and apple rings in egg mixture. Coat with crumbs.Fry pork and apple rings, a few at a time, in oil. Fry 2 or 3 minutes or until deep golden brown. Turn as needed for even browning. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in an ovenproof 12 inch skillet until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
• In drippings, saute onions until tender; remove with a slotted spooon and set aside.
• Dust pork lightly with flour. Brown a third at a time in drippings, adding oil if needed.
• To pork, add bacon, onions, apples, sage,nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir in cider and water.
• Cover and bake at 325 for 2 hours or until pork is tender.
• In a saucepan, cook potatoes in boiling water until tender.
• Drain, and mash with milk and 3 tablespoons butter.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove skillet from oven and spread potatoes over pork mixture.
• Melt remaining butter; brush over potatoes.
• Broil 6 inches from the heat for 5 minutes or until topping is browned.
• Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Trim the chops of excess fat. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a 14-inch cast-iron skillet (if you have a smaller one, you'll need to work in batches) over high heat, and then swirl in the olive oil. Lay in the pork chops and don't move them for a few minutes, to assure a good golden sear forms. Turn and brown well on the second side for a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops to a warm plate.
• Swirl the butter into the pan. Add the onion and apples. Saute until the onion slices are lightly caramelized and the apples have begun to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the beer or other liquid. Return chops to the pan.
• Cook until the pork is tender, about 15 more minutes (depending on the size of the chops), turning halfway through and covering the chops with the apple mixture. If the apple mixture needs a little thickening, transfer the chops to the warm plate again and simmer the mixture on high for a few minutes to reduce. Serve the chops over rice or mashed potatoes with a large spoonful of the apple-onion mixture over the top.
