Mouth Full of Chops

Delicious ~ Pork Doorstops

Pork is one of my favourite meats (especially Belly Pork) and it can be roasted, grilled, fried or chucked on the barbecue. The Chops in the photo were grilled (20 mins on medium heat) and were fantastic! When buying Pork I recommend you ignore supermarkets and head to the butchers for your meat. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with the supermarkets (some do have fine butchers in their store), but I love the personal touch that local butchers have and they know your favourite cuts.
Care must be taken when cooking Pork however. Cook for too long and it becomes much too chewy and all you end up with is tired jawbones. As I say, 20 minutes under a medium grill is perfect. For a little added flavour (and im revealing a cooking secret here) I melt a knob of butter over the Chops a minute before they are ready. Tastes great make no mistake!
I have two favourite Porky meals; with Chips and Egg like above, or with Roast Potatoes. My late mother used to cook Belly Pork with Roasties in the middle of the week and its a tradition that im very happy to keep going. Cheers Mum!
