Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a perfectly crisp pork chop, the golden-brown crust yielding to a tender, juicy interior. This dish elevates a simple cut of pork to something truly special, transforming it into a satisfying and flavorful meal. The secret lies in the ingenious breading, crafted from finely ground pork rinds.

This creates a surprisingly delicate and crunchy coating, adding a delightful textural contrast to the succulent pork. The pork chops are thinly sliced to maximize the crispness, ensuring each bite is an explosion of savory flavor and satisfying crunch. Seasoned generously with your favorite herbs and spices, the breading clings beautifully to the pork, creating a visually appealing and delicious crust.

The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water, promising a truly enjoyable culinary experience. Complementing these delectable pork chops is a generous serving of creamy cauliflower mash, a lighter and equally satisfying alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. The cauliflower is cooked until tender and then blended until smooth and luscious, creating a velvety texture that melts in your mouth.

The addition of savory diced bacon elevates this simple side dish, infusing it with a smoky, salty richness that perfectly complements the mild flavor of the cauliflower. Each spoonful is a comforting and flavorful experience, a perfect counterpoint to the crispy pork chops. To further enhance the richness and flavor of the meal, consider adding a decadent sauce or gravy.

A simple pan sauce made with butter and broth can work wonders. The melted butter, infused with the pan drippings from the pork chops, creates a deeply savory base. A touch of starch thickens the sauce to a luscious consistency, while a splash of broth adds depth of flavor.

Finish with a swirl of cream or a pat of butter for extra richness and a glossy sheen. Season to your preference with herbs, spices, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick. This is a meal that is as satisfying as it is flavorful, perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner or a special weekend treat.

Instructions

    1.
    Cut the cauliflower into large chunks and place them in a pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain all the water.
    2.
    Transfer the drained cauliflower to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and lump-free. While still warm, blend in butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Keep warm in the blender.
    3.
    Lay the pork chops on a flat surface and cover with parchment paper. Pound flat with a kitchen mallet. Season one side with salt and pepper.
    4.
    Whisk an egg in a bowl. On separate plates, arrange almond flour and ground pork rinds (pulse pork rinds in blender/food processor until fine crumbs).
    5.
    Dredge each pork chop in the egg, then coat in almond flour. Shake off excess, dredge again in egg, and finally coat in ground pork rinds. Repeat for all pork chops.
    6.
    Heat avocado oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add breaded pork chops and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and easily released from the pan.
    7.
    Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate. Dice the bacon and cook in a pan until crispy. Fold the cooked bacon into the mashed cauliflower potatoes and add to your plate. Serve immediately.
