Del Morocco's Smothered Pork Chops
Vegetable or canola oil for frying
Breading:
2 C. flour
2 T. seasoning salt, such as McCormick's
2 T. white pepper
2 T. Cajun seasoning
2 T. garlic powder
1 T. paprika
Egg wash:
2 eggs
2 T. water
Pork chops:
8 center-cut, bone-in pork chops (about 3 pounds), at least 1/2-inch thick
Gravy:
16 C. water
5 T. beef base such as Minor's
3/4 C. flour
1 C. or more hot water as needed
Heat the oil in a large skillet or in a deep fryer. In two large shallow dishes
or pie plates combine all the breading ingredients in one and lightly beat
together the eggs and water for the egg wash in the other.
When the oil is ready, dip the pork chops in the egg wash, letting the excess
drip off, then dredge in the breading. Pat the breading onto both sides of the
chops. Place in the hot oil and deep-fry until golden about 4 minutes per side,
depending on the thickness of the chops. Remove from the oil and place on paper
towels.
Meanwhile, in a large pot or skillet, combine the water and beef base and bring
to a boil. Mix together the flour and hot water in a glass measure, adding
enough water to make it thin. When the beef base is boiling, whisk in the flour
and water mixture. Bring back to a boil for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is
thickened. Add the breaded and fried pork chops and simmer for 5-7 minutes. Do
not simmer too long; the outside coating should be somewhat crispy. Serve the
chops with the gravy.
