This afternoon a family member requested pork chops for dinner. I decided to volunteer to make them. I search the internet and found a recipe that I liked. The original recipe can be found on this website: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Marinated-Baked-Pork-Chops/Detail.aspx
I changed just a few things when I made it, and doubled the recipe. However next time I think I would triple it because it just seemed like it would be even better with more sauce.
I served the pork chops with corn and mashed potatoes.
The mashed potato recipe came from fellow blogger myovenhates me at: http://myovenhatesme.com/2008/12/02/sour-cream-onion-mashed-potatoes/
The recipe is magnificent! I did change things up a little bit.
First I used 9 potatoes since I was making it for a few people. I more or less doubled the recipe. I also used fresh chives instead of dried. There was not much sour cream left so I used about ½ cup sour cream and for the rest I used light mayonnaise. I also added a bit of garlic powder for extra flavor.
It was a hearty wholesome meal that was enjoyed by all.
This has to be my ultimate favorite pork chop recipeJ
Here is the pork chop recipe ( my morphed version).
Baked Marinated Pork Chops
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp organic ketchup
1 white onion diced
3 garlic cloves diced
3 carrots diced
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl combine the: soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and ketchup. Mix well. Place pork chops in a medium sized baking dish. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the pork chops. Drizzle all of the sauce onto the pork chops. Cover the meat and rest of the dish with the carrot onion and garlic. Bake for 30 minutes in your preheated oven. Now turn the pork chops over and bake for another 30-40 minutes (depending on your oven temperature). Serve.





Gee, I wonder who the “certain family member” was…
Hehe it was my dad.
Seeing those potatoes again makes me want to make them tonight!! Fresh chives are so much better than dried eh? I need to keep fresh ones in the house more often!
I have never used dried chives before, so I can’t really say if they are better then fresh ones or not. I would say there probably is not much difference between dried and fresh.
