A couple weeks ago I picked up the last pork chops I’d ever get from Zaycon Fresh. If you were one of their customers you probably have had some strong emotions over the past 2 weeks as they suddenly closed their doors and left us all hanging. Thankfully I had received my 25lbs of Pork Chops before the crazy closing. Unfortunately, I did not receive my 40lbs of chicken. <Sad Face>

I digress a bit there. I ordered the pork because it’s Mark’s favorite type of meat, and one we don’t always grab due to tight budgets. That first night after filling our freezer, I walked out of the kids’ bedroom to the most delicious aroma filling our house. 

Mark was in the kitchen cooking us up a late night adult dinner of braised pork chops. That first bite – oh my word! I was ruined for any other meat flavor. 25lbs of pork chops were going to be cooked just like this because there was a celebration going on on my taste buds. 

You know in the movie Ratatouille when Remi is trying to refine his brothers taste buds? If you haven’t seen it, well just watch this. Then get ready for a pork chop that will bring all that action to your mouth. 

Now, this may not be traditional braising, or correct braising, but it’s pretty close, and the final result is a tender piece of pork chop that even kids can enjoy. I paired our braised pork chops with mashed sweet potatoes and a side salad for a balanced plate.
