One of the reasons I love summer is that I love barbecue. Vegetables or meat, they are all super good on fire. When is cold outside and you don’t have time or you are not in the mood for a barbecue you still have your oven.
We buy from a local shop meat mixed with condiments ready to use on the fire. Veal, pork or lamb, everything is already prepared for your barbecue.
We bought some pork chops and I decided to make them in the oven. I used an oven cooking bag so I don’t get my oven dirty and I made our pork chops.
I made also a broccoli puree which was great with the meat.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg pork chops
- 1 broccoli
- heavy cream
- salt
- pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
Pork chops were baked in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 1 hour. I broke the bag and let them another 15 minutes to get them crispy. They were amazing!
Broccoli puree was very easy to do and with just a few ingredients I had in the fridge. One had of broccoli is boiled with a little bit of salt.
With the mixer mashed the broccoli. Add 2 – 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, salt and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
We served the pork chops with broccoli puree and pickles. Everybody liked it very much.
Enjoy!
Cooking Without Limits 
Another beautiful post! I’d never thought about pureeing broccoli for a side dish (only as soup). This sounds like something that my daughter could eat with braces. (Those florets are almost impossible when they’re whole.) Blessings.
Thank you
This looks absolutely delicious 😋
Thank you
Your welcome!
Absolutely love the colour of pork chops, when marinated with any source of sugar or even garlic they go dark brown with burned taste and the sweet taste of pork completely disappears.
Thank you
I love pork and broccoli. Nice recipe.
Thank you
Of course pork in Romania is something completely different to that available in ‘the west’ – plenty of fat to give it flavour. Barbecues are different too – cooked over a fire of foraged wood not over bought charcoal or, worse, a gas-fired or even electric ‘barbecue’. Cooking in a bag, as you did, is similar to the only way in my opinion to cook ‘western’ pork, in the slow cooker. But I bet that it would have tasted even better from a Romanian style barbecue.
It taste great as a barbecue. Did it lots of times.
Sounds awesome! We are making butternut squash purée risotto topped with griddled lamb chops which is really good!
Nice!
I always cook pork chops in the oven, they are great done this way. I will certainly try the broccoli puree, too.
Very interesting recipe! Will try it.
Only thing I’d like t point out–are those ribs instead of chops? I just thought their textures can be quite different.
They are ribs. What are chops exactly?
Yum!
Numbers of community in India hate to have pork. But it’s tasty! Very Delicious! And your recipe is…healthy and tasty! Love you…
