Pork chops without. How to cook soft and juicy pork chops - recipes with photos

I offer you a recipe for delicious meat chops and tell you how you can cook them unusual dish to the holiday table.

For chops recipe you can use any meat: beef, lamb, chicken, today I will cook chops pork in batter or lezon.

Cooking chops at home is a laborious process that requires time and effort. I, like many housewives, have a few tricks to make cooking this dish quick and easy at the right time.

First trick: when buying pork or beef pulp for future use, before freezing it, I immediately cut them into thin slices and arrange them in freezer bags. Such a briquette thaws quickly enough, it remains only to beat off the meat plates, season with spices and fry in a pan.

The second trick it just concerns the rational use of time and effort in preparing for festive feast. Fresh meat (pulp of pork or beef) is cut into thin slices in the evening, beaten off, sprinkled with salt and pepper. Now it can be marinated for several hours or overnight with a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise and mustard (kefir is a more dietary option). Chopped meat becomes even more tender in a few hours. And fry the chops in right before serving so that they are hot.

Third trick: so that the meat juice does not stain the table when beating, and there is no splash, it is practiced to place the meat for chops in a plastic bag, and then knock on it with a special hammer. I'm in mine today step by step recipe I will use a special mechanical device: meat tenderizer or meat ripper (pictured).

It allows you to beat off not one plate of meat at once, but 4 or 5.

Trick four: ready-made pork, beef or chicken chops fried lightly in a pan can be made unusual festive dish by cooking them further in the oven. Lay the chops in one layer on a baking sheet, put a circle of tomato, a spoonful of mushrooms fried with onions on each piece of meat and sprinkle everything with grated cheese.

Having told about all my tricks in cooking chops, I turn to a step-by-step photo recipe for pork chops in batter.

Ingredients:

Meat (pulp of pork or beef) - 1.5 kg,
Salt,
Ground pepper and favorite spices,
Mayonnaise and mustard (optional ingredient) - 2 and 1 tablespoon, respectively,
Eggs - 5 pieces,
Flour - 1 cup (can be replaced with breadcrumbs),
Oil for frying chops - 0.5 cups.

Cooking process:

We beat off thin pieces of pork with a thickness of 0.5 cm with a hammer or, as I do, with a special device for chops - a meat ripper.
The photo clearly shows that I have 5 slices loosened at the same time. It is desirable to beat the "pancakes" to a thin state, breaking the fibers.
Then put all the chops in a deep dish, add salt, pepper, your favorite spices and herbs to taste. I also add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and a tablespoon of mustard to the pork chops. Paying your attention that these two components in the chops recipe are not a prerequisite, they can be replaced soy sauce or completely excluded.
I mix everything well, evenly distributing all the marinade and salt.

As a batter or lezon for chops, I use simply beaten eggs with salt, I dip the chops into the eggs alternately with each side of the medallion.
Here, for convenience and cleanliness, I have all the plates and appliances in close proximity to the stove: a dish of chops, beaten eggs, a plate of flour and a hot frying pan with butter.
The procedure for preparing pork, beef or chicken chops is as follows: egg-flour - a hot frying pan. For breading chops in the recipe, you can use not flour, but ground crackers.

Fry the chops in a pan with the addition of oil on both sides until golden brown over medium heat. If desired, each chop can be dried from oil on a sieve or paper towel.

I put the finished fried pork chops in a thick-walled ceramic pan with a lid so that they do not have time to cool before serving.
Pork or beef chops can be served fried, baked in the oven with tomatoes and mushrooms under cheese.

Many are interested how to beat meat. At the word "chop", the imagination immediately draws juicy pork chops, lamb chops on the bone, Viennese schnitzel, rolls, steak, escalope, beef stroganoff, Kiev cutlets, chicken chops and rolls, meat rolls with prunes or mushrooms. To prepare all these dishes, we need a meat chop, which is sure to be found in every kitchen.

The meat is beaten in order to separate and soften the muscle fibers so that the meat remains soft during heat treatment. Beating also gives a piece of meat a large area, in order to make it convenient to make rolls.

You can beat off meat from various parts. For the preparation of classic ones, a loin is used (with or without a bone), you can also beat off the pulp of the neck or hind leg (ham), a shoulder blade (mainly pork) is used somewhat less often.

For beating, fresh, not frozen meat is best suited (such meat will be juicier, as it will not lose juice when defrosted) or completely thawed meat: frozen meat contains frozen water, and when beaten it will simply break into pieces. Therefore, first leave the frozen meat to defrost so that as much water as possible flows out of it. The meat must be taken young, not sinewy and not too lean.
If you washed the meat, be sure to dry it before frying so that the chops do not turn out dry.
Do not salt or pepper the meat before beating, it is better to salt the meat during frying, when a crust will form, or immediately before it. If you salt the meat long before frying, then it will release the juice and lose its tenderness. If you cook meat in batter or sauce, salt the batter or sauce itself, so the spices will only emphasize the taste of juicy meat.
Beating the meat, wrap it up cling film. This is very convenient so that there is no splashing, and the walls and the table remain clean. So you can very carefully beat off even the liver.
Beat the meat on both sides, evenly, pay special attention to the edges. When frying, the fibers shrink, and evenly beaten meat will increase in thickness in the same way.
Larger hammer teeth are used if a thick piece of meat needs to be beaten thinner, or if it is harsh. Small teeth are convenient to beat off the edges of the meat. This is done so that the chops do not shrink during frying, do not deform.
You need to beat the meat carefully to make it soft, but not to make holes in it.
Do not beat the meat too thin, otherwise it will become too dry after frying.
To get delicious chops, you need to fry them in a very hot frying pan. For 2-3 min. the meat should be covered with a golden crust, which will prevent the juice from flowing out.
Place a kitchen towel under the cutting board to keep the noise down throughout the house.

How to beat meat without a hammer

If there is no hammer at hand, you can beat the meat with a rolling pin or knife handle. A potato masher is also suitable. Another option is to beat the meat with the bottom or neck of the bottle.

How to beat off a chicken fillet

To prepare some dishes (for example, chops, Kiev cutlets or rolls), we need beaten chicken fillet. This task may seem simple at first glance, but a novice cook, due to inexperience, can beat off tender chicken meat to holes. look step by step photos how to beat chicken meat.
To make a thin plate, we make an incision and unfold the chicken breast in the form of a heart.
It is better to beat chicken meat with a wooden mallet, not a metal one, and it is better with the side so that there are no notches that easily damage tender chicken meat. If you use a hammer with metal notches, beat the fillet carefully so that it remains intact.
Chopped meat can be breaded or stuffed and rolled up.
