JOYCE'S PORK CHOPS AND GRAVY
INGREDIENTS:
4 to 6 lean pork chops
1 cup flour
1 can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon salt - to taste
1 teaspoon
(Tellicherry) 1/2 cup Canola oil or Extra
Virgin Olive oil
1 whole egg
In a bowl beat egg and milk together. Dip pork chop into egg/milk
mixture and allow excess to drain. Coat each pork chop with flour seasoned
with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry pork chops
on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Leave two
tablespoons of oil along with the drippings in the skillet and add enough
plain flour to the oil to absorb most of it. Cook until a dark brown color
and add water and make a thick gravy. Cook on medium heat at least 10
minutes and add water as needed to get the gravy to the thickness desired.
Serve pork chops and gravy with mash potatoes or rice.

ALTERNATE DREDGE AND DRENCH RECIPE FOR A LITTLE MORE "KICK"
TO THE CHOPS:
DREDGE (DRY) MIXTURE INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Wild Bill's Meat Rub
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns
(Tellicherry)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
DRENCH (WET) MIXTURE INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon
Louisiana Hot Sauce
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Wild Bill's Meat Rub
Coat pork chops with a liberal amount of Wild Bill's Meat Rub and
Tenderizer. Take a fork and punch about 4 or 5 holes in the pork chops
after the rub and meat tenderizer. Do the same for the other side of
pork chops and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Prepare dredge (seasoned flour)
dry mixture in a shallow flat pan. Prepare
drench (wet) mixture in a shallow flat pan. Dip pork chop into dredge
(flour) dry mixture first and shake off excess flour and dip into the drench
(wet) mixture and allow excess to drip off. Dip pork chop again into the
dredge (flour) dry mixture and coat evenly and shake off excess. Do this to all
pork chops and in the mean time, heat a large 13 inch cast iron skillet or
skillet of your choice with 1/4 inch deep peanut oil, Canola oil or oil of
your choice on medium heat around 350 degrees F. I personally use a large
multi-laminated Townecraft 13 inch diameter
skillet which heats evenly and
holds it's heat very well. Add pork chops to hot oil and fry until golden
brown on each side which will take around 3 to 4 minutes per side. Do
not overcook, otherwise pork chops will be dry and tough. Once
pork chops are done, remove from hot oil and place on a bakers rack and
loosely tent with aluminum foil or place in oven on a warming tray with
temperature between 175 to 200 degrees F. Remove oil from skillet leaving
1/4 cup oil with the pork chop residue, add 1/2 cup all purpose flour and
make a thick roux aka gravy. Cook on medium heat until roux turns brown and
add between 16 to 32 ounces of water while stirring constantly until roux
aka gravy is smooth and the thickness you desire. Season roux with salt and
freshly ground black peppercorns to taste. Serve pork chops with your
favorite sides.
YIELD: 1 pork chop per person
Above pork chops prepared on 01-14-15 and was
"off the chain good." I used the alternate drench
and dredge recipe of which I like it much better and the spices are not too
hot but just right! Those pork chops must have come from some of
Hogzilla's kin since one pork chop would cover 1/3 or more of a standard
plate. Served with
yellow rice,
veggie medley,
Mary B's Tea Biscuits and
roux aka gravy
from the pork chop drippings, etc.

Below is the original recipe that I did on 08-23-08 and served the fried
pork chops with Cajun style Red Beans and Rice, French style green beans
with a smidgeon of bacon grease for flavor, hash brown casserole, fresh
cherry tomatoes and Mary Bee's frozen biscuits baked up golden brown.
I fried the pork chops in a mixture of Canola and Extra Virgin Olive Oil
being a little frugal by not using 100 percent Extra Virgin Olive Oil but
added enough to flavor the Canola Oil....go ahead and grin if you must.
I am glad you did not see me going back for seconds on the gravy and
biscuits....it was scandalous to say the least.
