Smoked Pork Chops Recipe – Oma's Kasseler

This smoked pork chops recipe is one of those traditional German food recipes that is so easy and quick to make. The only difficulty you may have is finding the meat.

Most delis will have this - called Kasseler - it's a type of smoked pork loin chops. Can't find that? Check the hints for alternatives.

Servings:

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 smoked pork chops (Kasseler)
• oil and/or butter to fry

Instructions:

1. Heat oil and/or butter, about 2 tablespoons in a fry pan.
2. Over medium heat, lightly brown Kasseler chops on both sides.
3. Serve and enjoy. Great with German mustard, potatoes, and vegetables.

Notes/Hints:

•  A thick piece of boneless cooked ham would work, although not quite the same flavor. You may want to try different brands to find one that tastes "just right".
• A similar flavor can be had by using a thick piece of Canadian peameal bacon. Again, these are just substitutes for the real thing.
• Try any European deli and see if they carry this. I've found Kasseler in a Polish deli, a Dutch deli, and, of course, a German one. It may not be labelled as such, but try anything that's labeled as smoked pork chops, or cured and smoked chops. You may just be pleasantly surprised.
