- I have had these several times. They are very tasty and just a bit spicy.
- Add more crushed red pepper to spice then up even more if you are so
- inclined. I make them with boneless pork chops but do not pound them thin
- as the recipe suggests. I always serve them with wide egg noodles.

- San Francisco Chops
- ==================
-
- Preparation Time: 10 min.
- Cooking Time: 40 to 45 min.
-
- For 4 servings you will need:
-
- 4 pork chops, 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick, about 1.5 lbs.
- 1 Tbsp. oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
-
- Sauce:
-
- 2 tsp. oil
- 4 Tbsp. dry sherry or broth
- 4 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp. water
-
- Preparation:
-
- 1. Trim pork chops of fat.
- 2. Heat oil in skillet. Brown chops on both sides.
- 3. Remove and add a little more oil if needed.
- 4. Saute garlic for a minute, being careful not to burn it.
- 5. Combine oil, sherry or broth, soy sauce, brown sugar and red pepper.
- 6. Place chops in skillet. Pour sauce over them. Cover tightly.
- 7. Simmer over low heat until chops are tender and cooked through, 30 to
- 35 minutes. Add a little water, 1 to 2 Tbsp. if needed to keep sauce from

- thickened.

- Boneless pork loin chops can be used. Trim fat and pound to 1/4-inch
- thickness. Cooking takes only 20 minutes.
-
- Good served with:
-
- Thin spaghetti or noodles tossed with butter and sauce, green salad with
- sliced cucumbers and dinner rolls. For dessert butter cookies and fresh
- pineapple.
