Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork chops
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Chopped green pepper
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups Fresh bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon Celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons Water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 cup Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the chopped onion, green peppers, parsley, salt, and celery salt with the bread crumbs. Add the egg yolk, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- 2Wipe the pork chops. Place one chop in a small pan (or a roasting pan). Place the dressing on top of the chop. Place the other chop on top of the dressing. Press the chops together. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour. Turn the chops halfway through so that the bottom one will brown. Baste occasionally with 1/4 cup of hot water to which 1 teaspoon of butter has been added. Put a lid on the pan to allow the steam to cook the chops. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the pan to prevent burning or drying out, replenishing when necessary.
