I took the instructions from this recipe, and because of my limited pantry I just threw together a lemon butter sauce by melting butter in a small pan, adding a bunch of lemon zest, and cooking it for a few minutes.

It’s super easy, and hard to mess up! A+!

Beer Battered Fish (serves 4)

Heat enough olive oil, to shallow fry the fish, in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup of the flour, beer, egg, and baking powder. Remember to do this methodically, because if you just dump the beer in there it will foam up and spill over into a nasty mess on your counter.

Place remaining 1/4 cup flour in a separate shallow dish.

Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Dredge fish in flour, turn to coat both sides and then shake off excess flour. Dunk fish in beer mixture and turn to coat both sides.

Add fish to hot oil and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until cooked through and opaque. Remove fish from oil. Place on a paper towel lined plate.

There are a lot of beer battered fish recipes out there, so I recommend trying a variety of them! Report back on the results as well so I can try them.

Okay not really.  This is going to be short and sweet.

WHAT YOU NEED:

Pork Chops

Parmesan Cheese (flaked if possible, shredded if not)

Italian Breadcrumbs (homemade or otherwise)

~2 eggs

Salt, pepper, spices as you desire

Canola Oil

This is incredibly easy.  First grab three good sized bowls large enough to dredge the chops through.  Fill teh first with your parmesan, crack your eggs into the second (whisking them smooth), and fill the third with your breadcrumbs.

From there, go down the line.  Dredge each chop through the parmesan to get a nice coating, then the egg to make em sticky (and layer the parmesan inside), and then dredge through the breadcrumbs.  After that, place them in a frying pan with enough canola oil to reach 3/4 of the way up the chops, or to barely cover them.  Fry until golden brown, be sure to cut them open to make sure the pork is cooked all the way through.  That’s it!
