Spicy-sweet fried pork chop

Serve: 4 Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 20 minutes

I used the hot salsa for the sauce and it was too spicy for my son-in-law. So I served the pork chop with chunky mango chutney instead of spicy-sweet salsa mixture. He absolutely loved it!


Ingredients:

• 2 cups canola oil, for frying
• 4 pork chops, bone-in, 1/2 inch thick
• Salt and pepper, for seasoning pork chop
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp water
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup bottled salsa
• 1 1/2 Tbsp seedless raspberry preserves
• 3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Season pork chop with salt & pepper on both sides, set aside.
2. On a shallow bowl beat eggs, water, cayenne pepper, & 1/2 tsp black pepper. In a ziplock bag mix flour and cornstarch ( 2:1 ratio)
3. Preheat the oil to 360 degree in the deep frying pan.
4. Coat pork chops in egg mixture one by one, transfer to a plastic bag, shake until coated.
5. Fry pork chops until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
6. Add salsa and preserves to pan; increase heat to medium-high.
7. Cook 30 seconds or until slightly thick, stirring constantly.
8. Serve pork chop with salsa mixture(about 1 Tbsp), and sprinkle with cilantro (1 1/2 tsp).
