Pork chops in honey marinade
Ingredients:
- 400 g pork loin;
- 3 tsp. soy sauce;
- 4 cloves of garlic;
- 2 pinches of pepper mixture;
- 2 tsp. liquid honey;
- 3 tsp. olive oil;
- salt.
Preparation:
First prepare the marinade:
The garlic is finely chopped. Then mix with honey and soy sauce, mix well and add garlic.
To quickly cook pork loin, you need to beat it well. Then the cooking process is shortened. Let's consider both options, where the meat is marinated without beating it with a hammer, and in the second option, it is beaten and marinated.
The pork is cut about a centimeter thick, rubbed on both sides with salt and a mixture of peppers. In a shortened version, beat with a hammer to a thin layer.
The meat is placed in a large bowl and poured with honey-soy sauce, left to marinate for 1.5 hours, in the second option - 30 minutes is enough, periodically turning from one side to the other.
Grease a baking sheet with oil and place the meat on it, pour the marinade on top, then put it in the oven, preheated to 160-180 C for 1 hour; in the second version, bake for 40 minutes. Pork chops are served with salad.
Basic principles of creating a marinade
- Amount of liquid. It depends on the number of chops. Usually, a quarter glass of fruit juice/red wine/mineral water/soy sauce is enough for 4 pieces. In general, for meat to marinate well, it must be completely covered with liquid. And in order for an appetizing crust to form on the chops, you should add a little vegetable oil to the marinade.
- Vegetables for flavor. Here you can give free rein to your culinary imagination. Most often, garlic and shallots act as “flavorings”. The first gives the marinade its own special smell, and the shallot smoothes it out somewhat. If you prefer more restrained flavors, then it is better to use dried and powdered vegetables rather than fresh ones.
- Herbs, spices, herbs and seasonings. Traditionally, the marinade for pork chops is seasoned with salt and ground pepper. The aroma of sage, oregano, rosemary and cumin also goes well with this meat. For 4 medium-sized chops, just add half a spoon of the spice mixture.
- What to marinate in? In general, there is not much difference; the only prerequisite in this case is a sufficient portion of marinade. You can easily marinate the pork chops in a large bowl, pan, or in a plastic bag. From time to time, it is advisable to turn the chops so that they are saturated with flavors from all sides.
- How long does it take to marinate meat? For pork chops, one hour is enough. It is only advisable that they marinate at room temperature.
Fried meat with onions in a frying pan - useful tips and tricks
• Meat does not need to be turned frequently when frying. The first time this is done only after a light crust has formed. Otherwise, touching the sides to the hot oil will only cause the juices to appear and will not seal them inside the pieces.
• If you need to beat off pieces of meat, then it is better to do it correctly! You shouldn’t beat the slices with all your might and deprive them of their juiciness. It’s better to put the pieces on a board, cover them with cellophane and lightly hammer them. The same is repeated on the other side.
• If you need to quickly fry the meat to a crisp, you can roll the pieces in flour before placing them in the frying pan.
• Adding granulated sugar will give fried meat a beautiful color. You need to add it at the very end and in small quantities, otherwise the dish will simply burn. For the same purpose, honey is used, which gives an appetizing crust.
