Parmesan and mustard is a classic combination that is often found in pork recipes, but the outstanding features about these chops is the crunchy coating!

Caveman Keto

This is such a quick and easy way to coat chops that you will be so impressed with the end result.

This recipe uses the classic combination of parmesan and mustard to give the flavor chops a real boost! The mixture of herbs suggested here is amazing with the chops but you can experiment with others to give a different flavor. For example, why not try adding sage or mint leaves, both of which work well here. There is quite a lot of mustard used here, but if you are not so keen you can use half mustard and half low-carb mayo instead.

The Perfect Pork Chop
Four String Farm
Ingredients: pork chop, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper.
You are best to use thick-cut chops for this recipe as they are cooked on the grill which can make some thinner ones dry out and become quite tough. These ones are still juicy in the middle and can best be described as succulent! The grill marks on the meat make it even more appetizing and these would be the perfect addition to your next family barbecue!
Quick Lemon Rosemary Grilled Pork Chops

Ingredients: pork chops, olive oil, rosemary, lemons, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper.
Lemon and rosemary were just made to be used together! They give a fresh tang but with earthy notes from the herb and this is complemented by the garlic. If you can leave the meat to marinade overnight you will be surprised just how much the flavors increase as the herbs and seasonings have more time to soak into the chops.

Here is another recipe that involves marinating the chops for at least four hours.

This recipe is so tasty and it is gluten-free too so can be enjoyed by anyone with these issues.
Lemon/Garlic/Herb Pork Chops
Strictly Paleoish!
Ingredients: pork chops, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, dried thyme, dried basil, black pepper, sea salt.
Are you aware that garlic is a superfood? Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra,M.D. says, Part of the Allium family, garlic is a pungent herb that owes its medicinal properties not only to its robust amino acids (17 of them to be exact!), antioxidants such as selenium, vitamins like C and B6, and trace minerals like manganese but to its 30+ sulfur compounds as well.
And he adds, You shouldnt let dreaded garlic breath prevent you from enjoying this herb. Eating a raw apple and/or chewing on some mint or parsley leaves after a garlicky meal is some easy ways to freshen your breath naturally.
Lemon and garlic together are one of my favorite combinations, as they can cut through any fatty flavor from the meat and give the dish a fresh and summery feel, especially along with the fresh basil. Cooking these on the grill is so easy and if you score the strip of fat the chops will stay flat while cooking, making sure the meat cooks evenly.
Mustard Crusted Pork Chops
Front + Main
Ingredients: pork chops, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper.
If you like mustard then this recipe would be perfect for you as it uses wholegrain and Dijon mustard together! Just imagine the depth of flavor and heat that the mustard mix will give to these bone-in chops! And as we all know, meat next to the bone is packed with taste. Cooked on the grill, these are lovely to serve to the family as they are easy to eat, coming with their own built-in handle!
Basil-Garlic Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops
The Stained Cookbook
Ingredients: pork chops, garlic, fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, fresh ground pepper.
Basil is a wonderful herb as it is so fragrant and aromatic and has a wonderful fresh flavor. Combined with garlic and lemon, it gives you a real taste of summer, so these chops are perfect for grilling. As they cook, you get to enjoy all the aromas of the seasonings wafting through the air. This mixture also works well with chicken or fish like salmon.
Lemon Basil Grilled Pork Chops
Bitz & Giggles
Ingredients: boneless pork loin chops, olive oil, fresh basil leaves, garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper.
Did you know that fresh basil is packed with anti-oxidants and contains anti-inflammatory elements? Not only that, it tastes amazing! Teamed with some lemon, this is one of the freshest combinations of flavor you can get! Just remember to let the chops rest before you dive in, as this will relax the meat and make it even more tender and tasty!

Ingredients: pork chops, eggs, cashew meal or almond flour, sunflower seeds, garlic powder, sea salt, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, parmesan cheese (optional).
The cashew breading mix used in this recipe is actually quite like traditional breading, so it can help to fill that void! It gives the chops a lovely crunchy coating which complements the juicy meat inside. These garlicky chops taste great when served with a simple green salad or, for a more hearty meal, with a serving of green beans or asparagus.

Paleo Effect

Ingredients: pork chops, coarse sea salt, black pepper, pork fat, chicken stock, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary.
I love quick and easy recipes and this one is exactly that. The preparation takes only a few minutes, but the flavor you get once the meat is cooked will blow you away! The combination of herbs is a classic, but it works its magic on the meat every time. Dont be tempted to overcook the meat otherwise, it will be dry and tough.
Magic Crown Roast of Pork
Nom Nom Paleo
Ingredients: crown roast of pork, Magic Mushroom Powder, curly parsley (optional).
This is one of the most impressive dishes I have ever seen! I can just picture it sitting in pride of place on the table for Christmas or at Thanksgiving as a wonderful alternative to turkey. The best tip for cooking a joint of meat like this is to use a meat thermometer as this is the easiest way to make sure the meat is cooked all the way through. To serve, simply slice between the bones for individual chops.
Pork Loin Stuffed with Pumpkin & Sausage
Keto Diet Blog
Ingredients: pork loin, gluten-free sausage meat, ghee, white onion, garlic, pumpkin, Spanish chorizo sausage or other hard sausages, rosemary, sage, salt, black pepper.
If you are trying this recipe I suggest that you do use chorizo sausage as the paprika-filled juices that it gives off go so well with pork. Along with the sage and rosemary, there is an infusion of flavor that makes this loin packed with delicious taste. If you are like me and dont like meat with fat on, you can use this recipe for pork tenderloin instead, just adjust the cooking time or use a meat thermometer.
Simple Skillet Pork Chop
Add a Pinch
Ingredients: pork chops, olive oil, salt, pepper.
Sometimes the simplest recipes can be the best ones and this one is no exception! You have perfectly seared and seasoned meat that is still moist and juicy when it is cooked and tastes so good you might want to eat it on its own! These chops can be served with a fresh green salad or with some steamed vegetables for a more filling meal.
The Perfect Pork Chop
This Is So Good
Ingredients: pork chops, ghee, poultry seasoning, sea salt, ground black pepper.
Here is another easy recipe for great chops that you can have ready to eat within 30 minutes, so these are ideal for dinner after a busy day. The poultry seasoning can give an extra boost of flavor but you can use different seasonings if you prefer, even spicing things up a bit by using chili powder as well. Rest the chops for a few minutes before serving to allow the meat to relax.
Pan Seared Pork Chop
No Crumbs Left
Ingredients: pork chops, salt, white pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, almond meal.
This recipe uses almond meal to bind the seasonings to the surface of the chops, allowing you to cook the flavor into the meat. If you are using really thick chops, it might be best to use a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked right through, but if it is still a little pink in the middle it really doesnt matter as it wont do you any harm.

Ingredients: pork loin or rib roast, coconut flour, ginger, dry ground mustard, salt, pepper, whole cranberries fresh or frozen, Sukrin:1, Sukrin Gold, garlic, water, lemon.
With this recipe, you can either use fresh cranberries or a ready-prepared cranberry sauce to make things a bit easier, but if you use sauce you wont need to add any sweetener. I like to use the fresh berries as I enjoy the tart taste which is quite refreshing along with the meat. You also have a hint of heat from the ginger and mustard, making this dish warming and satisfying one.

Lettuce wraps are perfect with this spicy recipe as they have a cooling taste yet are a great way to get the meat and veggies into your mouth!

Because the vegetable hash is made from different colored peppers it has a rainbow effect which can look so appetizing!

The flavors in this dish are reminiscent of the Mediterranean, thanks to the balsamic vinegar, basil and garlic.
