Potato Crusted Pork Chops With Pesto Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 of the pesto over into the bottom of the baking dish.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add olive oil.
• Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook pork chops in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to baking dish and top each with remaining pesto. Season with red pepper flakes. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours. Allow pork chops to rest for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs in a pie plate to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pound the garlic, basil, pinch salt, pine nuts and cheeses into a paste. Gradually blend in olive oil; adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• Wipe the pork chops with a damp paper towel and pat them dry. Place the remaining ingredients in a plastic bag, add the pork chops and shake well. Heat half of the oil in a heavy cast iron skillet, place the pork chops in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Put flour, salt and pepper on a plate and combine.
• Dredge both sides of pork chops in flour, and shake off any excess.
• Spray a skillet with the cooking spray and preheat on medium-high.
• Add the chops and brown on each side for two minutes.
• After they are browned, spread the pesto sauce over the chops and put lid on the skillet.
• Continue cooking for an additional two minutes or until they reach 160 degrees.
• The chops will be juicy and not dried out.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Toss potatoes with dressing; place in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 7 min., stirring after 4 min.
• Meanwhile, cover rimmed baking sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Empty coating mix into pie plate add half the cheese; combine. Mix horseradish and mustard until blended; spread onto both sides of chops. Dip, 1 at a time, into coating mix, turning to evenly cover both sides of chop. Place on center of prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle remaining cheese over potatoes; mix lightly. Spoon around chops.
• Bake 30 min. or until chops are done (145°F) and potatoes are tender. Remove from oven. Let stand 3 min. before serving.

Steps:

• In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast pine nuts, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes.
• To prepare pesto, in a food processor or blender combine pea shoots, 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, cilantro, Parmesan, garlic and salt. Pulse until roughly chopped. With motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil; blend until well combined. Scrape pesto into a bowl.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut each pork chop horizontally in half to bone, making a pocket for stuffing. Rub pork chops all over with cut side of garlic clove, grinding garlic juices into bone and meat. Season chops all over with salt and pepper, and fill each pocket with 1 tablespoon pesto.
• In a very large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear pork chops until well browned, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer skillet to oven. Cook pork chops until they register 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes (or cook pork to taste). Let stand in skillet for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare salad: In a large bowl, toss together pea shoots, arugula, remaining 1/4 cup pine nuts, cilantro and shallot. Toss with enough olive oil to lightly coat greens; drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide salad among 4 serving plates. Place a pork chop on each bed of greens. Top chops with additional pesto. Spoon pan juices over each plate.
