Quickie Pork Roast

I wanted to put together a quick meal featuring pork chops that I had taken from one of the long pork offerings from Sam's - we get one periodically and I cut it into sections and freeze most of it for later. Such was the case today, when I pulled out some chops, no bone, and put them in water to frost. When it came time to prep, I marinaded them for abut ten minutes, seared each side, then let them simmer for about ten more minutes while I prepped the rest of dinner.

This is not the first time I've done the short process - last night I did not marinade them, but cooked some garlic and onion in oil, then seared the chops (bone in last night) on both sides, turned the stove to low and simmered them for about ten minutes. I wanted to give last night's batch a little moisture, so I dashed in about a tablespoon of tamari and of maple syrup. Yummay!

Tonight's marinade: 

    t. Pepper

    t. Salt

    t. Garlic powder

    Tablespoon horseradish 

    Tablespoon tamari

    Tablespoon Dijon 

    Tablespoon maple syrup 

Heated the pan with oil and butter, cooked minced garlic, then did the cooking very similar to last night. Tender, moist, very delicious.

A somewhat wet March 11, after a day of work in the garage, including making a new chicken brooder, looking forward to time change Sunday.
