Selecting and Buying
Seasonality: january, february, march, april, may, june, july, august, september, opctober, november, december
Choosing: Pork chop meat should be reddish pink. This new “enhanced” pork product is injected with chemicals to bolster its flavor and make it juicier, but some of the juices leached during cooking can taste artificial or unappealing, so you may want to stick with natural, organic or free-range pork for cooking.
Buying: Pork Chops may be purchasrd at local supermarkets or meat markets.
Procuring: The most popular of pork chops are probably the center loin chops that have the bone left in. These are very similar in type of to the T-bone steak in beef. These pork chops come from the same portion of the pig that T-bones come from in beef animals. However, they are usually referred to simply as pork chops.
Preparation and Use
Depending on the cut acquired, pork chops can be reasonably grilled, fried, broiled or braised. Many chefs cook pork chops by searing on each side, then sautéing in olive oil for several minutes. For quick heat methods, marinating in vinegar and spices can make the meat more tender and adds flavor. Good combinations include Balsamic Vinegar with rosemary, marjoram, garlic, and/or oregano; white wine vinegar with thyme, dry mustard and onion; or lime juice with cilantro, cumin, and/or oregano
Cleaning: Remove excessive fat. Rinse to remove any bits of bone. Pat dry and use.
Conserving and Storing
Refrigerate raw pork chops in their original wrapping for up to two days. Cooked pork will keep up to five days in the refrigerator
Pork freezes well. Wrap, label, and freeze.
Social/Political
History: Pigs are not native to North America, and the first recorded swine came to mainland North America with Hernando De Soto in 1539. Upon arriving in what would one day be known as Tampa Bay, Florida, the first thing several swine did was run away. While many no doubt promptly became lunch for alligators, the others went feral, resulting in the wild boars that delight hunters today.
