Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups pecans (about 6 oz)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 c fresh parsley, loose packed (or 1.5 T dried)
  • 3 T mayo
  • 4 pork loin chips, bone in, 3/4" thick (about 2 lbs)

Method
 

  1. Prepare a large sheet pan by lining it with aluminum foil, and placing a wire rack on the pan.  Adjust the oven rack about 6" below the heating element and heat the oven to broil.
  2. Place the pecans, sea salt, and parsley in a food processor and process until the nuts are finely chopped and everything is mixed. Transfer nut mixture into a container or plate to use for dipping.
  1. Using a basting brush, butter knife, or your fingers (the brush works best!), spread the mayo on both sides of a pork chop. Then dip the pork chop into the pecan mixture, turning to coat on both sides.  Shake off any extra coating, and place the pork chop on the prepared rack on the baking sheet
  2. Continue with the mayo and nut coating on the remaining pork chops.  When all chops are coated, place the sheet pan in the oven for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, flip the pork chops, and continue cooking 10-15 min longer or until the pork is cooked through (160° on a meat thermometer).
  3. Remove from oven and serve!
