what goes good with pork chops?

Answer 1

Hi,
It depends how you cook them!
If you straight grill them then probably the traditional applesauce with potapoes, new, boiled or baked
With a green veg, peas or sweet corn.
Or my favourite ways to use pork chops are in casseroles...
they go well with so many fruits, apples, blackberries, apricots, so you can cook a whole variety of cuisines from round the world with them!
Here are a few of my favourite recipes, some simple, some not so simple:-
