Pork Chop Sandwich With Grilled Vidalia Onions Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a zip-top bag or a large container with a lid, combine the pork, onions and 1 cup mojo. Seal bag and transfer to refrigerator; chill at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• 2. Prepare a grill to medium-high heat, or heat a large, lightly-greased grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove pork and onions from the marinade; discard any leftover liquid. Season pork with adobo. Cook pork until golden brown and internal temperature registers 160°F on a quick-read thermometer, basting with remaining mojo, flipping once, 15 - 20 minutes. Cook onions until soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Divide pork and onions evenly among serving dishes.
• * If you do not have a self-sealing bag, be sure to use a non-reactive container such as a glass or stainless steel baking dish to marinate your chops. Do not use aluminum.

Steps:

• Combine garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, cumin, pepper, 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more, to taste, in a bowl large enough to hold chops. Add chops, turn to coat thoroughly, then transfer chops and marinade to a heavy zip-lock bag. Slip bay leaves between and around chops. Seal bag, forcing out air pockets. Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours, turning from time to time.
• Light a hot fire about 6 inches from cooking grate.
• Peel onions, and cut each horizontally in 3 thick slices. Thread slices on skewers. Brush with remaining oil. When coals are gray, place onions on grill. Turn after 10 minutes.
• Remove chops from marinade. Place on grill with a bay leaf on each side of each chop. Brush chops and onions with some remaining marinade. Grill chops and onions, turning a few times and brushing with marinade, until chops are medium to medium-well done, about 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Onions should be seared and tender.
• Remove onions from skewers. Separate into rings, and tangle over the bottom of a warm platter. Place chops on onions, with a bay leaf on each chop.

Steps:

• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Drizzle the pork chops on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle both sides with the herbs de Provence and grill for 10 minutes. Turn the chops over and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 160 degrees F. Transfer the chops to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes. Slice each chop into 6 (1/4-inch thick) slices.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• To assemble the sandwiches: Lay the bottom half of the bread on a work surface and spread with 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture. Add the lettuce leaves, arrange the cheese slices on the lettuce and top with the pork slices. Spread the top half of the bread with the remaining mayonnaise mixture and cover the sandwiches. Slice the loaf into 4 pieces and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix the flour and spices together for a dredge and place in a pie pan or similar flat vessel. I like mine spicy, so feel free to adjust the spices to fit your tastes.
• Place beaten eggs in second pie pan.
• Place breadcrumbs in third pie pan.
• Place chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until they are roughly 1/2" thick. I actually use my 48 needle meat tenderizer and dredge the chops in the flour/spice mixture prior to tenderizing to force some of the spices into the meat.
• Dredge chop in flour/spice mixture.
• Dip into beaten eggs, making sure both sides are well coated.
• Dredge in the breadcrumbs, thoroughly coating both sides.
• Place chop in pan, frying 3-4 minutes per side, until GBAD (golden brown and delicious).
• Drain briefly on paper towels or cake rack in a coookie sheet.
• Place on bun with condiments and garnishes of your choice. Traditional is yellow mustard, onion slice, tomato slice and lettuce. My brother likes applesauce, but then, he puts catsup on tacos, so what does he know? ;).
