Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed skillet heat the canola oil over medium-high heat.
In a shallow baking dish or pie plate combine the flour with cornmeal, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper, to taste.
Put the pork chops into the flour mixture coating completely and shaking off excess. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Remove the chops from oil and drain on a sheet pan lined with a brown paper bag. Reserve 2 chops for Round 2 Pork Parmesan recipe.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, then add diced ham and saute until lightly browned.
Add the onions, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, to taste and saute until translucent.
Add the butter beans and saute for 5 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the sauteed beans and onions for Round 2 Bean Dip recipe. Arrange the chops on serving plates and serve with the beans alongside.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling
Pork Chops on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general. The La Crema Russian River Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.
La Crema Russian River Chardonnay
On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
