Dominic Had Pork Chop

9-OCT-2006:


Today, we had Cheesy Pork Chops With Spicy Apples and Spinach Salad




INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, sliced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 apple, cored and sliced
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices extra sharp Cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Prepare a grill for high heat.

  2. While the grill heats, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until soft. Season with red pepper flakes then add the sliced apple. Stir in the sugar and balsamic vinegar, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until apples are soft and golden.

  3. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Spoon the onions and apples on top of the chops, and top with a slice of Cheddar cheese. Cover the grill, and cook for about 3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.





INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup mayo
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
dash hot pepper sauce
1/2 cp chopped parsley
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 hard cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 cups fresh spinach leaves, torn into pieces

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Combine mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper sauce, celery, onion, eggs

  2. Refrigerate

  3. Toss with spinach & cheese



And so Dominic had Cheesy Pork Chops WITHOUT Spicy Apples (and without any salt and seasoning). He also had spinach without any of the salad ingredients.
According to SM's mum, we shouldn't give Dominic any meat (pork, chicken, beef, etc) but instead we should cook the meat in porridge and just give Dominic the porridge without the meat. The thing is ... Dominic already had almost everything - fish, chicken, beef, pork - and I don't see anything wrong with that. Even commercial baby food has meat in them. And all the books and magazines that I've read mentioned that meat, particularly red meat is a rich source of iron and can be given to baby from 6 months. Anyway, it was too late when she told us that. And I wouldn't have listened anyway. :p

Well, SM is not a big fan of cheese either, so I just use mild cheese. I made this dish with blue cheese once. It was so yucky that we threw everything away and had instant noodle instead.
