Cooking with the Kovatches: Fried Pork Chops

Fried Pork Chops

More experiments with frying. I

asked my daughter whether she wanted her pork chops baked or fried. She looked at me quizzically, said she never heard of fried pork chops and then said she wanted to try them.

So, I set the fryer to 375 degrees, cracked and egg, and prepared the coating.

The coating? Flour, paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, basil and oregano.

Scramble the egg. Dip the pork chops in the egg. Coat with the flour mixture. Put in the fryer for 6 minutes.

We started off at 10 minutes, but that turned out way too dry. 6 minutes was fine.

About Us

I am Bill Kovatch. Up until a few years ago, I wasn't much of a cook. I could do some simple things. There was a point in my life when I had to avoid red meat, so I knew a few specialty chicken dishes. But nothing much beyond that.

A few years ago, I took a greater interest in gardening and cooking. I started trying more things in the kitchen. My daughter, Judy, and I watched the Food Network together. She had already shown an interest in cooking. But, I would say that much of what I learned about cooking came from the Food Network.

Cooking became something that I could share with the kids. Judy would help. Then her brother, Billy, wanted to help out as well. The teenager, Erik, became our guinea pig.

A funny thing happened. The food turned out to be pretty good. No, I don't claim to be an expert. I certainly will admit to needing more work on technique. Sometimes the experiments don't work out. To that end, I welcome comments on how to improve. I hope this blog becomes a way we can share and learn more about our cooking.
