This is beautiful for everyone...
Pork chops with sage
4 pork chops (I quite often take the bigger bone out, allows more to be cooked especially if big chops)
salt and pepper 15 fresh sage leaves handful flatleaf parsley 2 cloves garlic, peeled and halved 2 tbsps pure olive oil 3-4 tbsps plain flour salt and white pepper 3⁄4 cup dry white wine mashed kumara or potato and just-boiled broccoli for serving
Cut the fat from the chops, then slice off the skin. Dice the fat small and put aside. Score the skin in a diamond pattern and rub a little salt into the top surface. Cut a slit in the side of each chop, parallel with the chopping board, and slide three sage leaves into each. Chop the remaining leaves with the parsley and place in a shallow bowl with garlic and olive oil. Add the chops and turn, pressing the chopped herbs into the surface, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or overnight if preparing the dish ahead. To cook the meal, melt the diced fat in a heavy frypan on a low heat and remove the brown bits with a slotted spoon (they make an illicit ‘‘chef’s perk’’). Place the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Remove the chops from the marinade and press into the flour. Cook on both sides in the melted fat until golden, then pour off any excess. Add the white wine, bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the chops are very tender, adding more wine if necessary. While they cook, grill or bake the pork skin to make crackling and prepare the mashed kumara or potato and broccoli. Place the vegetables on heated plates, add the chops, reduce the sauce a little if necessary and pour over the top.

Oooh that does sound nice valentino. Thank you. No sage though, unfortunately, so might have to copy for next time.

Hi Alewis, This is a lovely Crockpot recipe... . . put crockpot on high while assembling the ingredients. 4 pork chops, 1 lg onion sliced, 2 apples sliced, 1 cup apple juice or white wine or cider. Pinch each sage & thyme. Put chops into a frypan and brown then put into crockpot. Add onion & apples to frypan and brown, add herbs and then add juice or wine to deglaze pan. Put mixture on top of chops in crockpot. Cover & cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours. Serve with steamed veges of your choice.

Just melt some dripping in an oven dish big enough to take the chops. I always cook them in dripping far nicer flavour but you can use oil if you want. Heat ur oven to about 180 and get the dish nice n hot. Put the chops in, turn after about 5mins. Turn again in about 10mins. Cooking this way keeps them moist and I usually get crackling as an added bonus.

Might try that next time ani4abuy... . wanted something that will keep them moist as Mr will have to reheat his... and I know that pork can dry out quite easily... .

I cook mine in the oven with a sliced onion over the top, and then a can of peaches in fruit juice over the top. Bake in the oven. Sounds weird, but its yum. I use the peach fruit and onion (cooked) to make a salsa type sauce in the blender.
