Protein
6 pork chops
3 eggs
Pantry
6 cups cornflakes
1 1/2 tbsp medium curry powder
2 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp grainy dijon
1 tsp honey
Oil spray
Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
Smoked Salt to garnish (optional)
Produce
3 stalks celery
1 large red apple
1/2 lemon
Prep your pork chops. Preheat oven to 425F.
Crush 6 cups cornflakes into a medium crumb, you want a bit of texture to them. Add to a shallow dish with 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder and a big pinch of a salt and mix.
To a separate shallow dish, beat 3 eggs and add about 1 tbsp water to thin out.
One at a time, dip your porkchops into the egg, then the cornflake mix, egg, cornflake mix. Place on a baking sheet that has a wire rack on it. The wire rack is going to keep the bottoms nice and crispy. Spray generously with oil.
Bake at 425F for 25 minutes or until internal temp reaches 145F *cook time will vary depending on thickness of the porkchop, so I highly recommend you invest in a meat thermometer if you haven't already!
Make your slaw. While your pork chops cook, make your slaw. To a large bowl add 2 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp grainy dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey and juice of half a lemon. Mix well.
Julienne your apple and thinly slice celery on a bias. Add to bowl with the sauce, with a big pinch of salt and give it a mix. Taste and add more lemon, honey or salt to your liking. You want a creamy honey mustard vibe.
Plate. Once pork chops are done, remove from oven, sprinkle with smoked or regular salt, and let stand for a couple minutes. Slice into bit size pieces and plate with the slaw.
*Curry powder: I use Cape Herb & Spice Madras curry powder in medium (link). There are a ton of variety in curry powders so if you are unsure of the potency, add half and taste the cornflakes to ensure it's not too overpowering. You want a strong hint of the powder but not overpowering.
