POPPIN' PORK CHOP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• In a baking dish, mix together the flour, seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne. Dredge both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set aside on a plate.
• Add the vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and heat until the butter is melted. Working in 2 batches, sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• In a separate pan and working in batches, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and toast the cut side of the buns until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Re-assemble the buns and set aside.
• For the cherry pepper mayonnaise: Mix together the mayonnaise, diced peppers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
• For the sandwiches: Smear the cherry pepper mayonnaise onto each bottom bun, top with a pork chop, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, more mayonnaise spread and the top bun.
• Serve hot or wrap in sandwich wrap/foil for transport.
• To a small saucepan, add the rice wine vinegar, honey, crushed red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, dill and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Toss together the cucumber and red onion slices and transfer them to a wide-mouth quart-size mason jar. Carefully pour over the warm vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 7 days.

PORK CHOP SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mix the flour and spices together for a dredge and place in a pie pan or similar flat vessel. I like mine spicy, so feel free to adjust the spices to fit your tastes.
• Place beaten eggs in second pie pan.
• Place breadcrumbs in third pie pan.
• Place chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until they are roughly 1/2" thick. I actually use my 48 needle meat tenderizer and dredge the chops in the flour/spice mixture prior to tenderizing to force some of the spices into the meat.
• Dredge chop in flour/spice mixture.
• Dip into beaten eggs, making sure both sides are well coated.
• Dredge in the breadcrumbs, thoroughly coating both sides.
• Place chop in pan, frying 3-4 minutes per side, until GBAD (golden brown and delicious).
• Drain briefly on paper towels or cake rack in a coookie sheet.
• Place on bun with condiments and garnishes of your choice. Traditional is yellow mustard, onion slice, tomato slice and lettuce. My brother likes applesauce, but then, he puts catsup on tacos, so what does he know? ;).

HOOSIER PORK-TENDERLOIN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut the pork crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Put each piece flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally almost in half (stop about 1 inch from the other side). Open like a book. Sprinkle each piece with water, place between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet.
• Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, garlic, 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne in a shallow bowl. Add the pork, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Pulse the crackers into coarse crumbs in a food processor, then transfer to a shallow dish. Put the flour in another dish. Remove each piece of pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge both sides in the flour, dip in the buttermilk marinade again, then coat with the cracker crumbs.
• Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360. Fry the pork in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Spread both halves of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer the lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the bottom halves. Add a piece of pork and a few pickle slices. Cover with the bun tops.

PANKO FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH TEXAS TOAST

Steps:

• Pour the oil to a depth of 1 inch in a large cast-iron skillet with high sides. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper and set aside. Set up the dredging station: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and mustard in a separate shallow dish. Combine the panko and House Seasoning in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge one pork chop in the flour. Dip in the eggs, then in the panko. Place on a wire rack and repeat the process with the remaining pork chops. Fry the pork chops, in batches, until golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest portion registers 145 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot with the Texas toast.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

FRIED PORK CHOP
