Name of Recipe: Baked Pork Chops
Number of People: 6
This recipe is a conversion from the Healthy Heart Cookbook: 37 Recipes for Normalised Blood Pressure available through Barton Publishing. My DH is doing his best to lower his blood pressure without medication and we got this book as part of a package. It was really delicious! A bit spicy for the kids though. I ended up scraping off the coating from DS7's pork and he still had to follow every mouthful with milk.
Ingredients:
• 6 lean center-cut pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
• 1 egg white
• 1 cup evaporated skim milk
• 80g cornflakes
• 20g fine dry bread crumbs (made fresh in TMX then toasted in oven)
• 4 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp oregano
• ¾ tsp chili seeds or powder
• ½ tsp garlic flakes or powder
• ½ tsp black peppercorns
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp dry mustard
• ½ tsp salt as needed
• nonstick cooking spray
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
2. Trim fat from pork chops.
3. Beat egg white with evaporated skim milk. Place chops in milk mixture and let stand
for 5 minutes, turning once.
4. Meanwhile, place all remaining ingredients into TMX bowl, speed 10, 10 seconds or until fine.
5. Use nonstick cooking spray on 13- by 9-inch baking pan.
6. Remove chops from milk mixture and coat thoroughly with crumb mixture.
7. Place chops in pan and bake at 190 °C for 15 minutes. Turn chops and bake for
added 15 minutes or until no pink remains.
We served with mashed potatoes in the TMX and steamed vegies.

Katiej used Panko breadcrumbs and normal milk instead of evaporated.
