Pork chops
 

I cooked 3 pork chops last night and have 2 left over....don't know why
I didn't freeze 2 of them. Any suggestions for the two left over chops?
I was thinking of chili but would appreciate your help and suggestions.
TIA and enjoy the weekend.

How about:

fried rice
pork curry
chop up the meat and put it in a salad
quiche (cook's coice)
sandwich

The possibilities are practically endless.

How about some sort of skillet dish using the pork cut into smallish pieces,
cabbage and potatoes? Just a thought.

Just re-heat them and eat them as is!

They could also be thin sliced for stir fry or fried rice.

Chili? I would not do that...

Sliced thin cold in a salad is also a way I've used them more than once.

Can't say that I can think of anything to do with them. I suppose you
could prepare some fresh veg and then just nuke the chops.

Failing that find a deserving dog !

No law says cooked pork chops can't be frozen... then the next time
you cook pasta sauce toss them into the pot and simmer slowly until
the meat is falling off the bone. So which cut do you have, loin or
shoulder chops?

What kinda wuss can't eat three measly pork chops, at least two...
that's like ordering a pizza and only eating one slice, then whining
oh,whuta-i-do now?

Get yourself a quart of chicken stock And make a chinese soup
broth...simmer some ginger and garlic in the stock, maybe some 5 spice as
well as a dash of oyster sauce or soy sauce and some garlic chilli sauce
for zip and add some thin slices of green onion, mushrooms or water
chestnuts and carrot and whatever other veggies strike your fancy to
simmer....just before serving put in thin slices from the pork chops.
Maybe add some left over cooked rice at the table.

Have you considered (excuse my spelling)pork chop quesdillas?

People are forever stuffing porkchops with apple...try stuffing a apple
with the pork chops (a joke).

Trim out the bone and make a sandwich. Either warmed or cold.

Yeah, it's not like they'll be bad just because they are left over from last
night! In fact, several days in the fridge wouldn't hurt them. But the OP
didn't say whether she left them sitting out or refrigerated them; that
would make a difference.

Some of us can't eat all that much, Sheldon. One pork chop works just fine
for me. But I wouldn't worry too much about using up the other two, either.
They aren't going to go bad simply because they weren't frozen after cooking
them, unless she plans to keep them for weeks on end ;)

I don't have left over meat problems, not with six cats. And there's
always stir fry and/or fly lice.

When I toss left over meat off my deck by the time I'm at the kitchen
sink washing my hands the crows are dive bombing... they get all my
meat trimmings, moldy cheese, stale baked stuff... nothing edible gets
wasted here... put a few limp carrots under a tree, by the time I'm
back indoors they're scoffed up.

I agree- I think they are funny, even if they will eat ANYTHING! This
last week, my hubby & I were in the yard, and noticed a huge crow
sitting on the fence. Looked the other way for a sec, and turned to
see it fly off with either a mouse or a mole in it's claws! They also
like to harass eagles and hawks.

And the easy no muss, no fuss method... add cooked pork and clean out
your fridge by adding whatever to ramen.

They are always harassing the bald eagles and the bluejays near by.
Sometimes they are just quirky, and stare at me through the living room
window. Apparently they can be taught to speak quite easily when tamed.

Well I had pork chops last night myself and had 1 left over. I simply
reheated for about 20 seconds in the microwave and ate it today for lunch
with a salad. I like them cold also pretty much like left over chicken
wings.

You can still freeze them and have a meal ready to heat and eat on a night
you don't want to cook. Take one for lunch one day.

Funny- are you in the Pacific NW also? I like to watch them walk-
kinda like chickens with their heads bobbing! But they do a service by
cleaning up the roadkill-yuk!
They do seem intelligent, tho.

So what's the diff between ravens & crows? I thought the names might
be a regional thing...

Here in UK a crow is the same family as a raven but he differences are like
those of a blackbird and a thrush. The song and livery are different.

Same reason when I make up a batch of chicken drumsticks, I'll generally
cook the whole 4 lb. bag that they come in. Cold meats are good for a
good 5 days refrigerated. I don't have as much time to cook during the
week as I do on weekends so I often cook ahead.

We have a large population of buzzards around here that do that little
chore. Might be why we don't have that many crows.

Competition.

I saw a Cara Cara (Mexican Eagle) on the way home from work the other
day. Gods that particular variety of buzzard is so beautiful! :-)

A raven can carry off larger house cats, small dogs, rabbits etc than
crow can. A raven is louder than a crow and a PIA because it can wake you
up at ungodly hours. A raven lives longer and I believe is smarter. Not
that a crow is stupid.

Due to a cost-saving project by my city council garbage removal personel
(city hired not a contract) have been reduced and their schedules
changed, so I get to see a lot of crows and a few ravens. I think most of
them are insane due to what they eat, toxic products in the garbage or
due to nile fever. Both will eat other bird's eggs and attack small dogs,
cats or anything they figure they can kill and eat. Being dived at by a
crazy raven is down right scary. I dislike both due to personal
encounters...I much prefer robins and other song birds who only attack
when you are near their nest, don't spread garbage all over your yard or
wake you up at sunrise.

I often cook more food than for one person. However, I also know you can
eat the refrigerated leftovers either "as is" within a few days - up to a
week, depending - or just go ahead and freeze the leftovers the next day.
It's not rocket science. Or do I have a degree in rocket science and am not
aware of it? LOL

Ditto. Having said that, I haven't found much of a use for
leftover pork chops, for whatever reason. It's one thing
I don't make extra.

I bet they'd be good leftover if you made an onion type
gravy for them.

Ah, yes! My mom used to pan fry (thin) pork chops and then simmer the
leftover chops in onion gravy! The gravy was a mix from a packet, of
course. Sometimes she even got crazy and put them in a baking dish with the
gravy (McCormick's I think it was), covered them with foil and heated them
in the oven. She hates to cook.

I'm not sure what you mean by "use". Door stop? Holiday decoration?
Origami?

We just re-heat them and eat them.

Next time you buy a big package those thingies people call "boneless
pork chops" ask that they send them through their cubing machine,
cubed pork makes wonderful swiss steak. Or when you get home grind
and form into ultra lean patties, then dredge in seasoned flour, egg,
seasoned crumbs; and eat pan fried or 'chicken steak' them. Any LOs
can keep a few days in the fridge or can be frozen.

Heh, those might be uses for them.

I don't know, I guess the reheating seems to have a drying
effect, that's why I thought reheat them under gravy.

Leftover pork chops are just not my thing.
