Spicy Lemon Marinated Pork Chop - With Buttered Vegetables
This spicy lemon marinated pork chop is very easy to cook and tastes delicious. The marinade consists of olive oil, lemon juice, tamari sauce and sichuan pepper among some other spices. Perfect for a barbecue or just frying the meat in a pan.
First, you need to prepare the marinated pork about 12-24 hours before you want to cook it.
Optimally, you do this the previous evening if possible
Put the pork chops into a zip lock bag or a container and add all the ingredients for the marinade.
Massage everything into the meat and store it in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
Always close your zip lock bag or container thoroughly before putting it into the fridge
When this waiting period is over, preheat your pan with some lard or coconut oil in it to medium heat
Finally, fry your pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side until they get a nice brown color
Buttered Vegetables
Before you put the pork chops into the pan, thaw the vegetables in the microwave or just throw them into a pot with just about 50 milliliter of water
Then, add the butter and seasonings, put the lid on and let it cook for about 15 minutes at low-medium heat while stiring occasionally
Now, the pork chops and vegetables should be both finished and you may pour some of the grease from the pan over the vegetables
Recipe Notes
Never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked meat.
If you want to use the leftover marinade, make sure to boil it up to kill all harmful bacteria.
Don't marinate in aluminum containers or foil, because a chemical reaction could spoil the food.
The best way to marinate the meat is using the zip lock bag in order for it to be evenly surrounded by the marinade.
For 500 gram of meat, you need about half a cup of marinade.

Bring on delicious! This fusion of cheddar cheese and eggs on top of pork chop with a simple sauce always makes me drooling. I call these fried, merged cheese and eggs a "chegg". Its bottom is as crispy as can be.
In the meanwhile, fry the pork chop with clarified butter until it has a nice brown color
When the pork is nearly done, put cheese into the pan
Once the cheese forms bubbles, put one egg per slice on top of it
Fry, until chegg is crispy
Put sauce on the pork and the chegg on top of that
Sauce
Mix everything in a small bowl
Recipe Notes
You may also just cook some cheggs and leave out the pork chop and the sauce. Broccoli or spinach also go very well with this dish instead of needle beans.
To the sauce, you can add some MCT oil or use seasonings like chili or paprika, if you like that.
