As you all know: I do not know my way around a kitchen. Yes, as shameful as that is to admit, it's true. My sister on the other hand, has an admirable knack for following recipes. Earlier in the year I made the mistake of promising her I'd try to learn to cook and now she's holding me to it. The nerve of her!
I know it will come in handy later, but I like to tell myself that I don't really need to learn because my boyfriend cooks better than I do anyway - but just in case I really need to...
We started off with something that looked relatively easy. Walk before you run, right?
So for any beginners out there - this is the recipe for you!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers - seriously, you need to pulverize these!
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon rubbed sage
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 pork chops, approximately 1/2-inch thick
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Directions:
- In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, thyme, pepper and sage. Spread mustard on both sides of pork chops; coat with crumb mixture. In a large skillet, cook pork chops in oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and juices run clear.
We didn't alter the recipe at all since we're just beginners and it turned out great! Be careful when you put the pork chops in the oil, though - that is not fun at all. I still choose eating over cooking.
