Maras Pork Chops Recipe

Maras Pork Chops Recipe

  • 6 (1 inch thick) pork chops
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups tomato juice
  • 1 cup unpacked brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Dip pork chops into eggs then into the bread crumbs, coating evenly. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place coated pork chops in the skillet in a single layer, and cook until golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Cook them in batches if skillet isn't large enough. Place the pork chops in a large baking dish in a single layer.
  3. In a saucepan, bring to a boil the tomato juice, brown sugar, vinegar, cloves, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Pour mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  4. Bake in preheated oven uncovered for one hour.
