Pork Chops American
Pork Chops, Fried, Fried Pork, Classic, Easy, Bread Crumbs

Pork chops
Eggs
Milk
Bread crumbs
All purpose flour
grated parmesan cheese

Preparation: Crack open eggs and put them in a medium size bowl (discard shell’s) with a 1/2 cup milk and beat till well blended, add a little salt and pepper. Now take 2 plates (or 2 shallow bowls) and pour a bit of flour on one and then pour some Italian Bread crumbs on to a separate plate along with a little bit of the parmesan cheese and lightly mix with a fork (I use paper plates and bowls for easy clean up, you can also use a large ziplock bag for breading the chops but I prefer a plate). First coat the chop lightly with flour, this will help the egg wash to stick better, then dip entire pork chop into Egg wash and place on plate of breadcrumbs, give it a little shake and flip the chop to coat the other side. Cooking: Place a medium to large (10 or 12 inch) skillet on your range, pour enough vegetable oil (or preferred oil except olive oil) so that its about a ¼ inch deep. Set burner to medium and let oil come up to about 325 f (its important to maintain your temp when pan frying, never let oil get to its "smoke point"). Once oil is ready place chops into the oil and let first side fry for a couple minutes before disturbing. After 3 minutes lift one chop to see if it’s a golden brown, if so flip them and fry other side until golden brown. When done place on a plate with a layer of paper towels underneath or a cooling rack with paper towels underneath the rack to catch the excess oil. Homemade Italian style Bread Crumbs: I usually have a half loaf of french bread that gets stale before it gets eaten so I make my own breadcrumbs and store them in an air tight container for later use. All you have to do is cut the stale bread into pieces that will fit into a blender along with some oregano, parsley, and garlic salt (too taste) and blend it all together until the bread crumbs are at the desired texture and size.

ricotta cheese Vegetarian
collxkid, Spinach, ricotta cheese, Zucchini, Carrots, Mushrooms, Vegetarian

diced tomatoes
onion
Garlic
carrots
dried basil
Salt
black pepper
dried oregano
ricotta cheese
shredded mozzarella cheese
dried parsley (or italian herbs)
zucchini
fresh mushrooms
frozen chopped spinach
Grated Parmesan cheese

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees celcius (350 F). Cook onion, garlic and basil in a saucepan until onions soft. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano and finely chopped carrot. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, until well cooked and it becomes less watery. The less watery the sauce the better your lasagna will hold together later, but don't let the sauce get too dry either or your lasagna won't hold together too well. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella (or tasty cheese) and parsley. Set aside. In a food processor finely chop up the fresh mushrooms. Note: Be sure to clean the mushrooms prior to chopping if they require it. You may also thinly slice the mushrooms instead of chopping in a food processor. It depends on your preference and taste. Cut off both ends of the zucchini, peel and slice lengthwise into strips. These will be used as the layers for your lasagna. If you don't usually eat zucchini, try slicing them fairly thin (about 5mm or less thickness). Arrange a single layer of zucchini strips in an 8 x 8 inch baking dish to cover the bottom of the dish, or two small baking dishes depending on what you have available. Spread 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the zucchinis. Next layer 1/2 of the tomato mixture, then 1/2 of the mushrooms, followed by 1/2 of the spinach. Repeat with zucchini, ricotta, tomato, mushrooms and spinach again. Keep layering the ingredients in the same order until you run out of ingredients. You may run out after only a couple of layers which is fine as it will still cook and taste the same at the end. Decorate the top with any left over ingredients you may have (zucchini, mushrooms, etc) if you desire. Finish of with parmesan cheese on top. Add as much or as little as you desire. Bake 30-45 minutes in the over. Season with salt before serving.
