The Pork Chops
Ingredients:
pork chops (again, other meats ok, so feel free to use chicken or beef)
flour
garlic salt
lemon pepper
taco seasoning
eggs
Cooking instructions:
1.) In a large pot or wok (needs to be deep) pour oil, enough to immerse the pork chops completely and heat at a medium high to high heat (if you have a deep fryer it's actually that much easier)
2.) Mix together the flour, garlic salt, lemon pepper, and taco seasoning (use a lot of taco seasoning)
3.) In another bowl beat the eggs
4.) Coat the meat in egg and then the flour mixture (from hence I will call it fry batter)
5.) When the oil is hot, put the coated meat into oil and fry until a golden brown
The Gravy
Ingredients:
mushrooms
onions
butter
chicken stock (any kind of stock works)
left-over fry batter
chili powder
black pepper
Tobasco Smoked Chipotle sauce
1.) In a large sauce pan (or wok) grill the onions and mushrooms at a medium heat
2.) When the mushrooms and onions are cooked to desired amount (usually when the onions start releasing flavor) add butter and black pepper (I used a little Italian seasoning too, but that's optional)
3.) After butter melts add chicken stock
4.) Add the left-over fry batter (if you don't have any left over just add flour and season)
5.) Season with black pepper, chili powder, and Tobasco sauce mix until desired consistency
So there you have it, serve the gravy over the chops and it is delicious, if I do say so myself. I originally had wanted to try it with crushed smoked chipotle peppers, which you can buy canned at the supermarket, but I went with the Tobasco first. I'll try the iteration with the peppers but essentially I expect it to be pretty similar. Success! Hope you enjoy it.
Update: I've tried it with the crushed chipotle, it gives it tons of kick, if you want to tone it down, don't use the whole can
