Mrs Thompsons Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Pour the buttermilk into a shallow baking dish and set aside. In another shallow baking dish, stir together the flour and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of the House Seasoning and set aside.
• Stir together the hot sauce, mustard and the remaining teaspoon of the House Seasoning in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning onto both sides of the pork chops. Place the pork chops in the buttermilk and turn to coat completely.
• Pour enough oil into a large cast-iron skillet to come 1 inch up the sides. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 350 degrees F.
• Working with one piece at a time, remove the pork chops from the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off. Coat in the flour mixture and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry, turning once, until the chops are browned and reach an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain.
• For the table gravy: Meanwhile, drain the oil from the skillet. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, then whisk in the flour and cook for a minute, whisking constantly. Whisk in the half-and-half, a little at a time. Bring the gravy to a simmer and simmer until thickened, whisking occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the House Seasoning and season with salt and pepper.
• Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish, toss tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and olive oil with salt and pepper to taste. Mix lightly with hands to coat all ingredients with oil, and spread the tomato-mushroom mixture to the edges of the dish, leaving the center free for the pork chops.
• Combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, cumin, ground coriander, oregano, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground paprika, sugar, and crushed red pepper in a bowl to make a spice rub.
• Sprinkle the pork chops with the spice rub, working the rub well into both sides of the meat. Place pork chops in the center of the baking dish, surrounded by the tomato and mushroom mixture.
• Roast in preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center and mushrooms are tender, about 45 to 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a serving dish and top with roasted tomato-mushroom mixture and all pan juices to serve.
