Cured/Smoked CI fried Pork Chops

[Bob Correll]

This was supper the other night, but these small thin chops were more like breakfast chops.

Four bone-in, three boneless chops in a zip bag with about 2 teaspoons of Morton's Tender Quick dissolved in about 4 cups of water.
In the fridge for about 4 hrs., rinsed well, dried well, then on a cookie rack for a little hickory smoke with a small lump fire.

Off the grill to some seasoned flour, then into my new 12" Lodge.

Plated with yellow squash, and boiled spuds.

Notice the nice pink color.

Son said "They taste like bacon"
Wife said "Kind of like ham"
I said "They taste like cured, smoked pork chops to me"
So good I wanted to eat the bone too!

Next morning, left over chop, well you know........

Near 70 here yesterday, took the new baby Pentax to a local covered bridge to try her out.

Alas, winter is coming back now.
Thanks for stopping by!

Nice cook. How do you like the the CI? I know a lot of folks prefer the thick cut pork chops but to be frank, I grew up on thin cut my mom fried in CI (breaded with crackers). She was a single mom and did great providing for us so to this day I prefer them over thick cut.

The sammich looks awesome as well.

A lot of fed workers around here are from St Louis area due to BRAC. They brought their love of pork steak (they share with you) with them.

[Jon Des.]

Excellent! I wasn't expecting the fried twist, but they look amazing.

 

[John Solak]

I kind of wanted to try some pork chops in Tender quick . After seeing those its is on the list.

 

[Tim Mulvihill]

Very nice chops!

So can you add the tender quick to most or all pork products and they end up with the bacon/ham flavor? So much to learn...
