Grilled Breaded Pork Chops

Ingredients for Grilled Breaded Pork Chops

• 950ml fine fresh bread crumbs (from 10 slices firm white sandwich bread)

• 20g finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (100g )

• Rounded 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

• 8 (3/4- to 1-inch-thick) bone-in centre-cut pork chops (2.0kg)

• 240ml olive oil

How to make Grilled Breaded Pork Chops

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 177°C. Spread bread crumbs in a shallow baking pan and toast in oven, stirring once or twice, until dry but not golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool bread crumbs completely, then stir together with cheese, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or a 9-inch pie plate. Lightly season chops with additional salt and pepper.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Put oil in another shallow bowl or 9-inch pie plate. Dip each chop in oil, letting excess drip off, then dredge both sides of chop in bread-crumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere, and transfer to baking sheet.

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). Grill chops on well-oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, turning over once or twice, until pork is cooked through and crumbs are golden brown, about 10 minutes total.
