1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
-
3
Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
-
4
Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl until foamy.
-
5
Spread the flour and bread crumbs out in 2 separate shallow bowls.
-
6
Dredge a chop in the flour to coat all sides.
-
7
Tap off any excess flour.
-
8
Coat the chop with egg and let it drain for a second or so over the bowl.
-
9
Lay it in the bread crumbs and turn a couple of times, patting the crumbs onto the chop to adhere.
-
10
Set the chop on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chops.
-
11
Pour 1/2-inch of canola oil into a large, wide skillet.
-
12
Heat over medium heat until the tip of the handle of a wooden spoon gives off a lively sizzle (about 375 degrees F).
-
13
Add half the pork chops to the oil and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes.
-
14
Transfer to an 11 by 15-inch baking dish or any baking dish that holds all the chops snugly, overlapping them along 1 side of the pan.
-
15
Repeat with the remaining chops.
-
16
Spoon as much of the onions and peppers from the vinegar as you like (about 1/2 cup works for me) over the chops.
-
17
Drizzle vinegar over the chops and bake until no trace of pink remains near the bone, about 25 minutes.
-
18
Serve right away.

Spicy Pineapple Vinegar - Vinagre:
-
20
Cut the tops off the pineapples and discard.
-
21
With a large knife, cut the rind off the pineapples leaving as little pineapple attached as possible.
-
22
Put the rinds in a pot large enough to hold them comfortably and pour in enough water to cover.
-
23
Bring to a boil over low to medium heat and cook until the pineapple peel is very tender, about 30 minutes.
-
24
Add water, if necessary, to keep the rinds submerged.
-
25
Meanwhile, put the onions, oregano, peppercorns, garlic, habanero or other chile pepper, vinegar, and salt in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid.
-
26
Strain the pineapple liquid into the jar.
-
27
If there is not enough liquid to cover the ingredients, add more water to the pineapple and boil for 20 minutes.
-
28
Taste and add a little more salt and/or a little vinegar, if you think it needs it.
-
29
You can use it as soon as it cools, but it will get better as it sits.
