Nothing fancy: either breaded & fried (gluten-free) or baked with homemade sauerkraut!
My husband and I host ESL students who are here for semesters abroad while at university. Our current student from Colombia is driving me nuts - I served up pork chops like these last week and it pained me to watch him remove the fat and not eat it and then ask if he could give it to our dogs! Then this past Sunday I made a great pork roast with perfect crackling. Again he removed all the fat/crackling and pushed it to the side of his plate.
Usually the students help clear the table but that night my husband and I both looked at each other and knew what we had to do. We smiled and told him not to worry about helping clean up this time - once he’d gone upstairs and we’d gotten in the kitchen we both made a dive for his plate. The dogs were very disappointed - and we felt a little shamed standing over the sink eating fat off his plate but come on - it’s the BEST part!
Last night I roasted wedges of sweet potatoes and pears (tossed in olive oil and thyme) until about half finished, then added pork chops topped with bacon/lardons until finished. This was definitely a keeper!
Hmm.. pan roasted with apples, caramelized onions, and cider. Or maybe mustard encrusted.
