Pork Chops, Greens and GMDGeek's Cuc Salad

cowgirl · Mar 1, 2014

Just some simple grilled chops...
I also wanted to try the cucumber salad recipe that GMDGeek kindly posted the other day. (Thank you!)

The salad... I loved it!!

I gave the pork chops a quick one hour cure with tenderquick, rinsed and seasoned them with Tatonka Dust. (love this stuff too)

started a skillet of greens...
fried bacon..

added (to the bacon drippings) minced garlic, onions, red pepper flakes, chicken stock, seasonings and the greens...put them in the cooker with the chops.

closed the lid and simmered the greens til tender...

fried some green tomatoes...

the grilled chop, fried green tomato, greens with crisp bacon and GMDGeek's salad...

Really loved the salad and the chops with Tatonka Dust. Will make both again.

Thank you for looking!

Thanks farmer! This is the only way I do chops anymore. The quick cure keeps them moist and they are so tender. They do not taste "hammy" or cured. They are only in the cure from 1 to 2 hours depending on thickness.
I love them this way. Thanks again!

Thanks! I used a mixture of greens, collard, turnip and mustard. Cooked the bacon first, then added onion and garlic to the drippings. Then the greens, chicken stock, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper. Can't remember what else. lol
Then topped them with the crisp bacon when served.
I like to use smoked ham hocks in the skillet, but didn't have any at the moment.
Thanks again!

Thanks for sharing this info. I did some thick chops last year. They were pretty good but was wanting it more moist & tender. I'll have to try this next time.

Next time I do chops I'll try that quick cure thing with some TQ that I got from an awesome sistren - you might know her!

Your table is the Promised Land as far as I'm concerned Jeanie - thanks for putting that up! :clap2:
