Curry-Crumbed Pork Chops

How do you like your pork done? Dare to be different. Instead of serving the same old pork chops, try this quick yet inspired recipe. The secret to its mouthwatering moistness lies in the layer of yogurt that's brushed over the pork before cooking. Add a crispy topping of bread crumbs, and you've got a risk worth taking. Don't this look yumyum! I bet you have watery mouth right now hehehe..

Panko are coarse bread crumbs usually found next to other bread crumbs in the supermarket.

3/4 cup plain yogurt 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion 2 bone-in center-cut rib pork chops (3/4 inch thick) 1 tablespoon canola oil 1/3 cup panko 1 teaspoon curry powder

1. Heat oven to 375°F. Combine yogurt, mustard, salt and pepper in small bowl. Reserve one-fourth of the yogurt mixture; stir green onion into remaining yogurt mixture. Brush reserved yogurt mixture onto both sides of pork chops.

2. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook pork 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Remove pork; place on foil-lined baking sheet.

3. Combine panko and curry powder; stir into drippings in skillet. Spread over top of pork.

4. Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until pork is pale pink in center. Serve with yogurt sauce.
