Smoked Boneless Pork Chops
Coming from Townsend Butchers in Simcoe, ON these smoked boneless pork chops are from vegetarian-fed pigs. Boneless pork chops are cut from the pork loin, a piece from the middle to backside of the pig that has had the rib bone removed. It's a versatile piece that's low in fat and high in protein. Compared to a bone-in chop, the lack of bone means it'll cook faster but is also more likely to dry out if overcooked.
COOKING TIP: Boneless pork chops are incredibly versatile. You can bread and pan-fry them, grill them, or marinate and bake them. Our favourite is on the barbecue for smoky, char-grilled flavour, but they are just as good in a skillet. Heat a little oil over medium-high, cook about four minutes per side, then let rest so the juices settle. Serve with steamed broccoli and scalloped potatoes or sweet potato fries, or slice to add to a salad, omelette, or pizza with caramelized onions.
