Iowa Chops



Tonight in Bretty's Bistro I served up Classic Iowa Pork Chops.



These chops are thicker cuts from a larger loin, unlike those paper thin tiny ones served in the coastal regions of the USA.



Start by generously seasoning both sides of the chop with Lawry's Seasoned salt.



and thoroughly flour both sides too.



Lightly brown on both sides using just enough vegetable oil to get the naturally occurring fats to render out to carry the frying process. Reduce the heat to simmer and add some Mountain Dew or 7Up to give the meat a sweet citrusy flavor.



I served our chops with a butter & herbed small shelled pasta and peas medley

probably about 2 cups cooked pasta 4 tablespoons butter melted in the bottom of th bowl add basil, oregano, fennel, and Lawry's Seasoned salt to taste in th butter. Add frozen veggies to cook with the pasta and drain at the same time. I use a variety of veggies this way.

My Younkers Store is closing. I am deeply saddened both for the loss of the jobs but one less place to shop in the mall.
