Tender smoked pork chops are a nice change of pace topped with a delicious moist dressing, shares Rebecca Baird of Salt Lake City, Utah. A hint of orange flavor adds interest. Ingredients:
1 large navel orange |
2 smoked bone-in pork rib chops (3/4 inch thick and about 1 pound) |
1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery |
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 cup seasoned croutons |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Grate 1 teaspoon orange peel; set aside. Peel and section the orange. Set four segments aside; coarsely chop remaining segments and set aside.
2. In a skillet, brown pork chops on both sides in oil. Place chops in an ungreased 9-in. square baking dish; set aside.
3. In the same skillet, saute the celery, onion and parsley in butter until tender. Add the croutons, walnuts and pepper; cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in broth and reserved chopped orange and peel. Cook 1 minute longer.
4. Spoon dressing over the chops; top with reserved orange segments. Cover and bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 2 servings.
