Gluten-Free Fried Pork Chops with Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms, Yams and Sautéed Asparagus

Tonights dinner is gluten-free fried pork chops with caramelized onions & mushrooms, yams and sautéed asparagus! Definitely a little harder than last night's chili, but it turned out well! I will say that cooking all of these things at once was a big challenge. My one tip for a meal like this would be to prepare as much as you can before you start cooking. Chop the onions and slice the mushrooms before, set out all of your bowls with the flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs for the pork chops etc... I made these fried pork chops gluten-free because my Mom and Sister have to eat a gluten-free diet due to Celiac Disease but these can be made with normal flour and bread crumbs as well!


Fried Pork Chops

Things you will need:

- 4-8 thin sliced pork chops (I have found that the thinly sliced cook very easily when frying and get       nice and crispy)

- Gluten-Free All Purpose Baking Flour

- Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs

- 2 Eggs

- Vegetable Oil

- Salt & Pepper

First heat up the vegetable oil in a frying pan until hot

Get 3 bowls, in the first bowl put the gluten-free flour with some salt & pepper, in the next put the 2 eggs add a little water and whisk together for an egg wash, in the last bowl put the gluten-free bread crumbs with some salt & pepper.

Take the pork chops one at a time, first coat in the gluten-free flour, next dip in the egg wash, lastly coat in the gluten-free bread crumbs and lay gently into the hot oil.

Let the pork chops fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side until nice and crispy golden brown (my Mom likes hers extra crispy so I leave on a little longer for hers)

Thats it! Simple and easy.


Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms

Things you will need:

- 1.5 white onions

- 5 white mushrooms

- Olive Oil

First you want to chop the onions up, I just give them a rough chop.

Next slice the mushrooms up fairly thin.

Heat up a pan with oil and throw the onions and mushrooms in, watch them carefully and stir until they are nice and caramelized.

This is super easy and it goes great with the pork chops.


Yams

Things you'll need:

- 3-4 Yams

- 2 Tbsp. butter

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 1 Tsp. nutmeg

- 1 Tsp. cinnamon

First peel and boil the yams for about 8-12 minutes until they are nice and soft.

Mash the yams just as you would mashed potatoes

Add in butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, mash until smooth.


Sautéed Asparagus 

Things you will need:

- Asparagus

- Olive Oil

- Salt & Pepper

Heat up a pan with oil.

Throw in the asparagus on medium heat and add a dash of sea salt and black pepper.

Move the asparagus around in the pan until tender and serve.
