2524.0. "Pork" by USWAV1::SNIDER () Fri Jul 20 1990 11:25

                   Grilled Lime-Marinated Pork


....this appeared in last Sunday's paper.  Evidently pirated from 
    "The Yachting Cookbook" by Jennifer Trainer (Crown 
    Publishers).  We tried it on the grill with boneless center 
    cut chops and it was great!

    4  boneless pork cutlets, pork chops, or meaty country-style 
       ribs (about 1-inch thick)
       Juice of 2 limes (about 3 tbsp) 
    4  tbsp vegetable OR olive oil
    2  tsp cumin seed, crushed
    1  tsp dried oregano
    2  large garlic cloves, crushed
    2  fresh chiles, chopped, or 1 tsp crushed red pepper
       Freshly ground pepper
  1/2  tsp salt

1.  Place pork in a shallow non-metallic dish or heavy plastic 
    bag.  Combine remaining ingredients and pour over the pork.  
    Turn the meat in the marinade to coat thoroughly and let 
    stand in a cool place 1 to 3 hours.

2.  Prepare grill and place chops on the grill and sear them on 
    both sides.  Cook approximately 8 minutes per side, moving 
    chops to a cooler spot on the grill if they brown too 
    quickly.

    Serves 4

    Note:  Country-style pork ribs should be cook over a slow 
    fire for approximately 30 min.

2524.1Pork Chop BakeCASDEV::COLELLADoes Uranus have an aurora?Thu Mar 21 1991 12:5227
    Here's a "comfort food" pork chop recipe:
    
    			Pork Chop Bake
    
    Ingredients:
    
    pork chops
    small onions, whole
    carrots, peeled and halved
    potatoes, peeled (cut if large, whole if small)
    1 can tomato soup
    
    Brown as many pork chops as you want to serve in a frying pan.  (I put
    black pepper on them while they're browning.)  Remove and place in a
    casserole dish.
    
    Arrange carrots, onions, and potatoes on top of pork chops.
    
    Pour tomato soup into frying pan and stir to release pork particles. 
    Pour this over the vegetables and chops.
    
    Cover and bake at 350 F for at least 1 hour.
    
    Mmmmm, my husband LOVES this!

I make up almost the same recipe, but I use cream of mushroom soup and instead
of pearl onions, I substitute mushroom caps and ass some fresh herbs, and 
sprinkle with paprika for a colorful top!

    I knew they had caps and stems. but what's a mushroom ass ???

re .4

I think that's a special type of Freudian mushroom!   Actually it is a typo --
should be ADD....sorry.
2524.9trichinosis not a problem in US porkMICROW::GLANTZMike @TAY 227-4299 TP Eng LittletonTue Apr 28 1992 16:417
  Dick Binder, in recent discussion in ASKENET on pork (topic 3490),
  said he thought he had heard that the FDA had issued a statement that
  trichinosis was no longer a concern in the US. Interesting. Can anyone
  confirm?

  Also, does anyone happen to recall the temperatures required to kill
  salmonella and trichinosis?
2524.10yep. it is true.FORTSC::WILDEwhy am I not yet a dragon?Tue Apr 28 1992 18:2812

it hasn't been for years.  The problem is with custom.  When people are
offered medium rare pork, they lose their appetite.  It is very hard to sell
anything but very well-done pork in this country.  This ruling by the FDA,
however, does open the door for consideration of some methods of smoking
meats that have not been acceptable here.  Prepare yourself for domestic
versions that compare favorably with Italian Proscuitto, etc.

2524.11Still a problem, but it can be frozen to deathRANGER::PESENTIOnly messages can be draggedWed Apr 29 1992 06:488
It's not a problem with commercial pork.  I get a home-grown pig every year that
eats garbage and lives in dirt (and tastes wonderful in spite of it's lifestyle)
and for this kind of pig, trichinosis is still an issue.

I'm not 100% sure of the temperature for cooking, since I just refer to my meat
thermometer.  I think it's around 160-170.  However, trichinosis can be killed
by freezing.  If pork is solidly frozen for 21 days it is then safe for cooking
to the "still pink and juicy" stage.

  >> it hasn't been for years.

	Oh good.  That means everybody can focus their paranoia on
	that popular little anxiety producer, the egg.

	What a relief.
