Last night for dinner my family and I had not just pork chops but "Berkshire Porterhouse" chops. These amazing chunks of meat came from Flora Berkshire Pork from Carroll County, Indiana (574-967-3484) via Goose The Market. These may just be the most amazing pork chops I have ever had. I had Chris cut them extra thick - a generous 1-1/2 inches. I dusted them with some seasoned flour, pan seared them, and then moved them to a 375 degree oven to finish.
I bought three of these giant things thinking it would certainly be enough for the family. My boys (6 and 3) usually eat like little birds but they could not get enough of the pork, eating the chop I cut up for them to share and a good portion of mom's and dad's.
If you would like to learn more about the Berkshire breed, check out this link. This is not "the other white meat" most of us are used to. This is the way pork once was, well-marbled, flavorful, and juicy.
