Coconut-crusted pan-fried pork chops are a delicious twist on the classic pork chop recipe. The coconut flour adds a unique flavor and crisp texture, making this dish both healthy and delightful. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion and can be served with a variety of side dishes to complete your meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a shallow dish, combine the coconut flour, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Pat the pork fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the flour mixture adhere better.
- Lightly dredge each pork fillet in the seasoned coconut flour, making sure each side is evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to fully melt and start to sizzle but not burn.
- Once the butter is hot, carefully place the flour-coated pork fillets in the skillet.
- Cook each fillet for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the pork fillets and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the pork is fully cooked through. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Once cooked, remove the pork fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate. Let them rest for a few minutes to ensure the juices redistribute and the meat remains tender.
- Serve the coconut-crusted pan-fried pork chops hot. They pair beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or some fluffy rice. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the pork fillets are evenly coated with the flour mixture to achieve a consistent crust.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a more intense coconut flavor.
