Clever Connie's Sweet & Sour Pork Chops image

I work with developmentally-challenged adults - a few without dentures, some without the motor-skills to handle knives and forks. My extraordinarily clever supervisor came up with this recipe allowing them (and a spoon) to enjoy the taste of a good pork chop. The meat falls from the bone and shreds easily. The sauce creates a taste of China.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pork chops
1 tablespoon oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup soya sauce
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Set the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Trim excess fat off the pork chops.
  • Add oil to frying pan and heat on high.
  • Add garlic and swirl around for 30 seconds- don't let it brown or burn.
  • Lower heat under frying pan. Brown the chops on both sides.
  • Remove chops and place in an ovenproof baking dish in a single layer.
  • Scrape the garlic and "brown bits" from the frying pan onto the top of the chops.
  • Mix remaining ingredients together well and pour over the chops.
  • Place chops into the oven.
  • Lower heat to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Leave chops in the oven for 2 hours or more.
  • When the chops come from the oven - the longer the better - the meat will fall from the bones and the fat is easily removed.
  • Shred the pork and return it to the "sauce".
  • Leave the meat in the oven until you are ready-to-serve.
  • Serve over rice.
