Brady Bunch Pork chops

Ingridients:

2 cups 1% low-fat milk 2 teaspoons salt

2 lbs boneless pork chops (8 in total, about 1/2 inch thick)

3 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1In a large shallow dish, like a 9x13 pan, stir together milk and first amount of salt.2Add pork chops (you could use bone-in chops, if you wish) and marinate (if you want to call it that; it's more of a milk brine methinks), covered and in fridge, for at least one hour (maximum 4 hours).3Turn chops once, halfway through marinating/brining time.4When ready to cook chops, preheat oven to 200F and have ready an ovenproof platter.5In a shallow dish (like a pie plate), combine freshly made bread crumbs (grind bread in food processor to make crumbs; you'll need about 8 slices) with garlic powder, rosemary, thyme and remaining amount of salt.Remove chops from milk and let excess milk drip off, then dredge chops in bread crumbs, lightly patting crumbs onto both sides of chops so they adhere.7Place breaded pork chops on a tray, keeping chops in one layer.8In a large 12-inch skillet over high heat, place butter and oil.9Saute chops, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes per side only.10DO NOT OVERCOOK, do not crowd chops in skillet, and turn only once; chops should be golden brown and just cooked through.11Place cooked chops on platter and keep warm in preheated oven.12Cook remaining chops (you may have to do 3 batches, depending on the size of your pan and how many chops you do); add more oil and butter to pan if necessary (it likely will be).13I recommend serving with applesauce.

African Chicken Peanut Stew 

INGREDIENTS

2-3 pounds chicken legs, thighs and/or wings 3 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 large yellow or white onion, sliced A 3-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced 6-8 garlic cloves, chopped roughly 2-3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 1 15-ounce can of crushed tomatoes 1 quart chicken stock 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup roasted peanuts 1 Tbsp ground coriander 1 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste Salt and black pepper 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro

METHOD

1 Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot set over medium-high heat. Salt the chicken pieces well, pat them dry and brown them in the oil. Don't crowd the pot, so do this in batches. Set the chicken pieces aside as they brown.

2 Sauté the onions in the oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring often and scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté another 1-2 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes and stir well to combine.

3 Add the chicken, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, peanut butter, peanuts, coriander and cayenne and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and taste for salt, adding more if needed. Cover the pot

Apricot Chicken

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds apricots, roughly chopped, pits removed and discarded

1/4 cup sugar 2 Tbsp cider vinegar 2 pounds skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces Salt 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (can sub olive oil) 3 Tbsp olive oil 1 chopped onion 2 cups chicken stock or broth (use gluten-free stock if you are

cooking gluten-free) 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 teaspoons Tabasco or other hot sauce (you can add more if you

like) Black pepper

METHOD

1 Place the chopped apricots in a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and the vinegar. Let sit while you brown the chicken in the next step.

2 In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, place chicken pieces in the pan, without crowding the pan, and brown them on each side. As the chicken cooks, sprinkle salt over it. Once the chicken is browned, remove the pieces from the pan to a bowl and set aside.

3 Add the remaining oil to the pan and sauté the onion until it begins to brown. As the onion cooks and releases moisture, use a flat edged spatula or wooden spoon to scrape off the browned bits from the chicken (called fond) from the bottom of the pan.

4 Once the onions have browned a bit, add the chicken stock and lower the heat to medium.

5 Put about 2/3 of the apricots, along with any juice they have given up, into a blender and blend into a purée. Pour the purée into the pan with the chicken stock and onions.

6 Add the cinnamon, rosemary and Tabasco and taste. You may need to add some salt. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and gently simmer for 10-20 minutes.

7 When you are ready to serve, put the chicken and the remaining apricot pieces into the pan and simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Serve hot with rice.

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

INGREDIENTS

1 (3 pound) fryer (see Wikipedia on the difference between broilers, fryers, and roasting birds), cut into pieces

2 cups buttermilk 1 large onion, sliced 1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, thyme) or a

teaspoon each of the dried herbs. 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/2 teaspoon onion salt 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper Salt and pepper 2 cups grapeseed oil, or other high smoke-point oil such as canola

oil, or peanut oil

METHOD

1 Soak chicken overnight (at least 8 hours and up to two days) in buttermilk with onions, herbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper. (Regarding the use of buttermilk, my mother has had good results from soaking chicken in plain yogurt instead of buttermilk.)

2 Drain in colander, leaving some herbs on chicken. In a large paper or plastic (sturdy) bag, mix flour with seasonings. Meanwhile, heat 2 cups oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron, stainless steel, or anodized aluminum - something that can take the heat) on medium high heat until a pinch of flour starts to sizzle when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot that the pan is smoking). Remember when working with hot oil, always have a pan lid close by.
