Pork chops?

[springer02]

I got some yummy looking pork chops at the meat market today and was wondering if anyone has any good ideas for how to cook them this weekend?  Preferably in the dutch oven.  They're maybe 1 1/2 inch thick.  DH (the camp cook) was thinking something with apples?

Thanks in advance,

I don't know...I don't have a recipe, but as a pork chop lover and an apple liker, I be things would come out pretty good if you just put pork chops and wedged apples (maybe some cinnamon) in the DO and let it cook for a bit. Pork doesn't have to cook as long as we once thought. Mouth is watering, even though I have a full belly right now!

Don't know what the name of the recipe was but my mom used to use stewed tomatoes and pork chops and sort of simmer them together and then put it over rice for a sort of mediteranian dish. It was very tasty.

My mother did about the same thing as Cheryl's mom did.  

She browned the pork chops in oil first then set them aside (usually in the lid of the pan).  Then in the drippings from the pork chops browned 2 cups of white rice with a chopped onion.  Poured in one can of diced tomatoes (or whole that she squished between her fingers) into a 4 cup measuring cup and added enough water to make 4 cups (rinsing out the can into the measuring cup) and poured it over the rice and onions.  Watch out for the steam!  Then seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.  If you want an Italian flavor.  If you want a mexican flavor, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder.  Bring to a boil and put the pork chops back on top.  Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.   You can add more or less water depending on how dry you want your rice.  It makes the pork chops nice and tender

Our favorite is to brown the chops, then pour cream of mushroom soup over to cover and bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. We always have baked potatoes with it and put the extra "gravy" on the spuds. Mmmmm good.

My mom used to lightly brown the chops in a skillet, then pour orange juice to almost cover them, and cook the OJ down to a thick sauce. Tenderizes them nicely, and very tasty!

Oh yeah...She'd put paprika on the chops, more for color than anything.
