i do like a nice pork chop but i get bored in what to do with the chop itself.

i grill the thing (and maybe add egg and cheese topping)

and thats it. apart from cubing it and making a casserole, stew, thai dish.

so what are good ways to make chops whilst retaining the chop?

    A good chinese shop will sell chai soi style marinade which is ace on a pork chop and rice, I eat pork chops with rice quite often. It might have some cryptic name in the english translation like 'red' ;)

    Another old favourite is honey and mustard.

    Whenever I do a chop, I just bung it in a frying pan with some garlic and mixed herbs... Yum!! I actually really fancy one now!!

    Yea Pork chops are a bit boring at times. I bought some the other week but not got around to eating them yet because I can never really think of a decent way of having them other than just chucking on some herbs and spices and having it with pasta. I was thinking of getting rid of the bone and sticking it in with a stirfry and throwing on the Kung Po sauce which needs using up. I love that stuff! A plum sauce might go better but I don't have any.

    Pasta? Gotta be mash with pork chops.
    Mustard Mash, even better (whole grain variety).

    I always thought Lamb was cheap? It's steak that's expensive and pork chops are just mingin' weither they fall somewhere inbetween or not.

    In the states Steak (even the really good stuff) is cheap, pork is pennies, even chicken is more expensive than pork, but Lamb costs a fuckin' fortune. My wife got me some minced lamb to make Keema with, and it's still in the freezer. It was $4.85 for 0.63lb of it, minced as well it'd have been almost 3 times that much if it was chops.
