What could be better for lunch than pork chop? Delicious, fragrant and satisfying. And by adding a little side dish or vegetables, we get a nutritious and healthy dish that is very easy to prepare. Most often, a piece of meat with a rib bone is used to cook chops. Choose meat according to your taste — veal, pork or beef. But since the pork chop is today, we use pork. Almost every cuisine in the world has its own version of the chop: for example, in Germany it is schnitzel, in Japan it is tonkatsu, and in England it is a romsteak. The only difference is in the cooking method. But in the end, we still get a delicious piece of meat. Such a natural cutlet that you can eat almost daily!

How to cook chops? Let's start by preparing the meat. Pork tenderloin is most often sold with a whole rib. We wash it thoroughly and cut it into flat pieces across the fibers. Then we chop off our natural pork patty. A special kitchen hammer, which is available in almost every kitchen, will help us do this. It doesn't matter if it's made of wood or metal. Beat off until the patty becomes larger in area. The thickness should be about 2 cm. Do not overdo it, too thin a piece of meat will tear during frying.
We won't need any special seasonings - everything is to your taste. I use only salt and ground black pepper for cooking. If desired, you can add just a little nutmeg or curry seasoning. It is better to take the smallest salt, and grind the pepper with a grinder right before use. Each piece of meat is salted and sprinkled with pepper and stacked on top of each other. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
We make breadcrumbs, or the so-called batter. I have already described the cooking process earlier. But I'll repeat myself a little bit today. And so, pour flour or breadcrumbs into a wide bowl. In another container, beat the egg, add a tablespoon of cold water and a little salt and pepper. Whisk well. We take a piece of meat, put it in flour and roll it well. Then dip in the egg and return the chop back to the flour. Once again, sprinkle with flour on all sides and transfer to a dry plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan. We lower the chop into a well-heated frying pan and fry until browned. Turn over and fry on the other side. For the first time, it is advisable to fry over medium heat, because this creates an appetizing crust on the meat, which makes the chop soft and juicy. Then reduce the heat and fry the patty until cooked.
After that, I often put the finished pieces of meat in a deep saucepan, add a couple of bay leaves and a little vegetable oil. Then simmer on the lowest heat for about 20 minutes. This makes the meat even more flavorful and it can be safely given to small children.
That's how simple we made pork chops. There is no need for special side dishes for such a dish — just vegetables or some kind of light porridge are enough.
