Pork Chop Recipes

Pork chop recipes are a top priority for pork recipes online.

To me there's nothing better than southern fried pork chops with rice and gravy. However, since I am from the southern U.S., I might be just a little bit prejudice toward fried piggy.

We love fried food in the South and pork is right up there with Southern fried chicken.

However the versatile pork chop can be enjoyed cooked in many different ways. The only limit is the imagination. (Recipes are at the bottom.)

About Pork Chops

All pork chops come from the back section of the hog called the loin. Unlike beef that has three primal cuts along the back, pork only has the loin.

The tenderest cuts of pork are the ones furthest from the snout, the tail and the feet. That puts the loin at the top of the tender chart.

Now the loin runs from near the head of the pig all the way to the tail. So that means some chops are higher up the chart than others.

The best chops will more than likely be labeled "Center Cut". They're labeled that way because they do come from the center of the loin. (Furthest from the snout, the tail and the feet.)

These are the cuts best for dry heat cooking such as grilling.

The cuts from the head end are called shoulder chops. They are normally inexpensive because they contain pieces of a lot of different muscles and a good bit of connective tissue.

The cuts from the tail end are called sirloin chops and they have the same characteristics as the shoulder chop. Maybe even more so!

Shoulder chops and sirloin chops are best when cooked with a wet cooking method like braising.

You can select your pork chops based on price and then pick a cooking method or pick a cooking method and then select the pork chops.
