Breaded pork and skillet taters

We have been looking for new ways to do pork chops and a breaded version seemed cool. The skillet potatoes have scallions, bacon, red pepper, and were awesome. More pics below and some info.

I did not get pics of it, but I cut bacon into diced and cooked them first. It makes for an evan cook and crisps up the bacon well. I took about 90% of the grease out with a paper towel and added some clarified butter and olive oil mix to coat the pan.

Diced some scallions and red bell pepper

Sauted the pepper for a minute and added the shallots. Mostly to get them soft, but they imparted a great flavor to the oil I will cook the potatoes in. Pulled the peppers and shallots and put in a ramekin.

A lot of flipping on medium heat browned the potatoes well.

Trimmed the fat from the chop and had a breading station. The final breading had parm cheese, crushed crackers, panko crumbs, and lots of seasoning.

Fried in clarified butter and olive oil. Finished in the toaster oven.

All of it was amazing. Those potatoes are right in our go to sides for sure. The breading was pretty awesome, but did not stick too well. I bet it was from the continued baking. Still great.

sucked a lot of meat this weekend

We are carnivores and pretty much have beef, chicken, or pork in most meals. Usually we will split a single serving though. So when we pick up some chicken breasts from the store I will sucky bag the ones we do not use right away. Chicken is so expensive in those smaller servings. We figured it was time to hit up sams and stock up. We got 14 good sized chicken breasts for $17 and some thick pork chops for a good price as well. Ended up finishing off a roll of the new sucky bags and we have had no problems with them at all.

roasted chicken taste without the waste

beerorkid | August 10, 2010

Nothing like a nice slice of roasted chicken with some mashed taters and gravy. We roast chickens often and every now and then we do not use up all of the chicken. Lately the leavings just gets cut up and end up in the pet food. I have tried to recreate the flavor in a skillet with a boneless and skinless breast, but was not even close. Figured I would get some skin on breasts and try it out. Worked really good.

Vid: roast a full chicken.

Wilton Brownie cups are awesome

beerorkid | August 6, 2010

IMG_6528

Serious eats mentioned these Wilton brownie cup pans and we so knew we had to get them. The all edge brownie pans are pricey and we have the cheap one they sell on TV, and it sucks really bad. These pans were cheap and seemed like they would work well. Theresa makes some insanely awesome brownies and we tested the pans out last night. She used a disher to measure and some got 2 scoops and the others got 3. They came out amazing. it is like an all edge brownie. The rim of the cup was almost like a cookie and was firm.

Shoot the cap gun as a warning to the brownies to taste good

If for some reason you do not buy the awesome brownie cup pans, yo can line your pan with parchment paper and lift it out of the pan with a friend to cool on the rack and make cutting them up really easy.
