Menu Of The Week

Well this meal was another big hit. Especially the zucchini fritters. The only thing that I would change is to run your green onions first through the processor. If you are grating the zucchini, you might as well do the green onions at the same time. It is silly and labor-intensive to hand slices them (well in my opinion). You could use any dried fruit for the chops but I have bing cherries I dry every summer to use. After a rich and somewhat sweet dinner, I picked Alpineberries lemon bars. It seems like a nice, bright end to the yummy rich meal. Enjoy !!!!!

Honey Cherry Chops

veal or pork chops

1 cup dry white wine

1 bay leaf

6 sage leaves

3 whole cloves

1 cup broth

1 cup dried cherries or cranberries

2 TBL. honey

Salt and pepper both sides of chops. In a large fry pan (you do not want too crowd your chops) heat a couple of TBLS olive oil on high heat. Brown each side and remove chops. Deglazes pan with wine. Add bay leaf, sage and cloves. Boil a couple of minutes till wine cooked down to 2 tbls. Then turn down heat add broth and add chops and cherries. Cover and cook about 8 minutes, till meat is cooked through. Then stir in honey. Serve sauce over chops.

I was going to fry chops last night but my kids wanted Italian chicken so I did that. Tonight thou I have to cook the chops before they go bad. My son is the only one that will eat them as for my daughter I'll have to fry liver and onions. I'll try it tonight. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope he'll like it and maybe my daughter might give it a try.
Thanks for the recipe.
