{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} OT BONUS RECIPE: April 15th Recipe Round Robin 2017

 

This is the last recipe you'll be receiving from me this week.  It's unlikely if I'll be sending anything Monday also as my son and I are traveling to Ocean Springs, MS for my niece's weeding this weekend and making a one day side-trip to New Orleans before coming home.  I hope all of you have a lovely weekend.  I'll see you when I'm home and organized again!

1 cup celery, chopped

1 head cauliflower, chopped

Cook the sausage in a large sauté pan, breaking it up into small pieces. 

Add the onions and celery to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.

{11}     Whiskey Butter Pork Chops with Corn, submitted by Jodi in Jackson, MO,  tigger63755@charter.net

4 bone-in pork rib chops (2 lb) 

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons butter 

1 cup thinly sliced sweet onion

1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) whole kernel sweet corn

1/4 cup whiskey

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves

Directions

Rub pork chops with salt and pepper. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 6 to 7 minutes or until browned on first side. Turn pork; reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook 4 to 5 minutes longer or until pork is no longer pink in center (at least 145°F). Transfer to plate; cover with foil to keep warm.

In same skillet, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. 

Add onion and corn; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until onion softens and begins to brown.

Remove from heat; add whiskey, and return to heat. 

Cook 1 to 2 minutes over medium-high heat until whiskey evaporates. 

Stir in lemon juice.

Pour corn mixture over pork. Sprinkle with basil.

Notes: We tested this recipe with bourbon, but Irish whiskey would be delicious as well.  Feel free to sub different types of pork chops in this recipe. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, depending on thickness, so pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
