7-9: Hunter’s-Style Pork Chops

Jamie Martin Group 07: Pork, Section 2: Main Courses February 25, 2016June 19, 2020black pepper, butter, chervil, chicken bouillon, chicken broth, cornstarch, dinner, egg-free, fairly easy, fairly inexpensive, gluten-free, melted, mushrooms, parsley, pork, pork chops, salt, sautéed, seared, sour cream, tarragon, tomatoes, untested, vegetables, white wine, yellow onions

Back when I made 7-55: Sunday Pork Stew, I had mentioned that I was intending on making a different recipe, but that I didn’t have the mushrooms to make it. This recipe, 7-9: Hunter’s-Style Pork Chops, was the recipe I was intending to make.

EDIT: This seems to be a popular recipe–it wasn’t one of my favorites, but I hope you enjoy! If you want to know more about this site/me, read this. Thanks for visiting!

“Hunter’s-style pork chops” seems to be a thing, although I’ve never heard of it before this book. Most recipes out there cite it as a “comfort food”, although if they’re already using the word “bland” in and around the recipe (see the second line above on the card), don’t expect anything avant garde.

7-36: Pork Tenderloin with Curry Sauce

Jamie Martin Group 07: Pork, Section 2: Main Courses February 15, 2016June 19, 2020black pepper, brandy, butter, chives, coconut milk, curry powder, dairy-free, dinner, easy, egg-free, fairly inexpensive, half-and-half, peanut oil, pork, pork tenderloin, salt, seared, soy sauce, spice blends, steak sauce, tenderized, untested, whipping cream

Costco had pork tenderloin on sale, so I’ll use that as an opportunity to work my way through some of those recipes in the book. Here’s 7-36: Pork Tenderloin with Curry Sauce, which I made for dinner a few weeks ago.

True to its claims, I made this one pretty quickly one weeknight for dinner. You could make this with a cheaper cut of pork as well (such as a chop) if you don’t want to pay for the more expensive tenderloin cut.

2-26: Corn & Wild Rice Salad

Jamie Martin Group 02: Salads, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters February 14, 2016March 14, 2020American, appetizers, black beans, boiled, cilantro, cooked chicken, corn, dairy-free, diced, dinner, easy, egg-free, fairly inexpensive, gluten-free, green bell peppers, green onions, ham, jalapeño peppers, lettuce, lime juice, limes, lunch, marinated, olive oil, party food, red bell peppers, rice, salads, salt, shrimp, side dish, simmered, Southwestern, spicy, untested, vegan, vegetable oil, vegetables, vegetarian, wild rice

In the mood for more corn after 3-14: Creamy Corn Chowder? It’s still not quite corn season yet, but if you’ve got some frozen corn hanging out in the freezer, you can feel like it’s summer with 2-26: Corn & Wild Rice Salad.

This would be a great recipe to make for a summer BBQ or picnic–it’s healthy, pretty, and as they say above, easy to make. It feels incredibly out of season now (February), but therein lies the magic of the Internet–you might find this in June or July and it’ll be perfect then.

4-6: Rösti

Jamie Martin Group 04: Potatoes & Vegetables, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters February 13, 2016October 6, 2020breakfast, butter, cast-iron, Cheddar, cheese, chives, crispy, dinner, egg-free, fairly easy, gluten-free, grated, green onions, inexpensive, leeks, lunch, nutmeg, pan-fried, pared, parsley, potato pancakes, potatoes, salt, shredded, Swiss, thyme, untested, vegetarian, yellow onions

Here’s one I’ve been meaning to make for a while. As I mentioned in 9-12: Shepherd’s Pie and 6-30: Scottish Chicken Casserole, I had too many potatoes after a Costco shopping trip, so I’ve been burning off potato recipes.

Potato pancakes have been done before, along with a zucchini version as well. So what’s different about this one? For one, this one features an umlaut. 😉

9-12: Shepherd’s Pie

Jamie Martin Group 09: Ground Meat & Sausage, Section 2: Main Courses February 2, 2016July 5, 2020apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, boiled, butter, Cheddar, cheese, dinner, egg-free, fairly easy, garlic, gluten-free, ground beef, ground meat, half-and-half, Hutton house, inexpensive, mashed potatoes, nutmeg, paprika, pared, parsley, potatoes, red bell peppers, revisited, salt, sautéed, Swiss, vinegar, yellow onions

Here’s one with my mom’s writing on it. 9-12: Shepherd’s Pie promises to be a new take on an old classic and I had a LOT of potatoes to get rid of. Don’t buy a 20-lb bag of potatoes from Costco because it’s “such a good deal”.

I can’t say I’m particularly a fan of shepherd’s pie, but I had all the ingredients and a lot of potatoes to burn up. It stores/freezes well, and this version uses red peppers and beef instead of carrots/peas/corn and lamb (that’s why it’s shepherd’s pie–because of the sheep/lamb). 🐑

6-30: Scottish Chicken Casserole

Jamie Martin Group 06: Poultry & Game, Section 2: Main Courses February 2, 2016June 18, 2020bay leaves, black pepper, bone-in, breasts, butter, casserole, chicken, chicken bouillon, chicken broth, dinner, dried herbs, drumsticks, Dutch oven, egg-free, fairly easy, gluten-free, inexpensive, melted, paprika, parsley, pot-roasted, potatoes, salt, scalloped, Scottish, seared, thighs, thyme, untested, wings, yellow onions

As I mentioned in 9-12: Shepherd’s Pie, I had a LOT of potatoes to get rid of after buying too many at Costco. So here’s another potato recipe for you: 6-30: Scottish Chicken Casserole.

EDIT: This seems to be a popular one–not sure why, since it’s not very exciting. Easy, but not thrilling. If that’s what you’re here for, game on. If you want to know more about this site/me, read this. Thanks for visiting!

Offhand, I have no idea why it’s “Scottish”, other than it seems similar to a lot of food you get in the UK. A cursory Google search turned up this recipe, which seems kind of like this one. This other recipe (from the same search) gives a bit more history, linking it to a classic French (and Scottish) casserole-type dish.

3-14: Creamy Corn Chowder

Jamie Martin Group 03: Soups, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters January 28, 2016March 14, 2020all-purpose flour, black pepper, boiled, butter, carrots, celery, chowder, corn, creamy, dinner, easy, egg-free, grated, half-and-half, herbs and spices, inexpensive, lunch, melted, milk, mirepoix, purée, roux, salt, sautéed, simmered, soups, summer, thyme, Tyler Florence, untested, vegetarian, yellow onions

Corn is more of a summer thing, but the recipe for 3-14: Creamy Corn Chowder calls for fresh, canned, or frozen corn, so you can have it anytime you have a hankering for corn chowder. I’m not personally a huge fan of corn chowders, but I know a lot of people are, and my in-house reviewer claimed to like it, so it comes recommended.

I’ve made a variation on Tyler Florence’s corn chowder at my current job, which was also a hit. Both call for thyme, but Simply Delicious chooses to bulk with mirepoix vegetables & milk rather than potatoes, roux, & heavy cream like Tyler Florence. Another example of the lean/health-conscious 80s.

17-37: Holiday Cookies

Jamie Martin Group 17: Baked Goods, Section 3: Desserts & Baked Goods December 20, 2015September 13, 2020all-purpose flour, baked goods, baking powder, butter, chilled, Christmas, college, cookie cutters, cookie press, cookies, creamed, crispy, dessert, egg-free, fairly easy, gift ideas, granulated sugar, holiday baking, inexpensive, revisited, rye flour, snacks, vegetarian, XMAS 15

Hopefully I haven’t caught you too late for this year’s batch of holiday baking. If so, keep this one around for next year–17-37: Holiday Cookies is a great butter cookie recipe for using cutters or presses. This is part of my big batch of assorted baked goods that I made as gifts for people this year–you can find the others linked at the end of this entry.

I got a new cookie press for Christmas last year, and finally got to test it out this year. This cookie press is AWESOME–so much easier than the old stubborn buggers from the past.

2-17: Spicy Potato Salad

Jamie Martin Group 02: Salads, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters November 23, 2015March 10, 2020apple cider vinegar, blender, chili powder, chilled, chopped, curry powder, dairy-free, diced, dinner, dressing, dried spices, easy, egg-free, emulsion, food processor, German, gluten-free, herb salt, herbs and spices, inexpensive, lemon juice, lemons, lunch, marinated, paprika, party food, peeled, picnic, potato salad, potatoes, red onions, salads, salt, side dish, spice blends, spicy, sunflower oil, sweet mustard, tossed, untested, vegan, vegetables, vegetarian, yellow onions

This was an accompaniment to 12-11: Italian Macaroni & Cheese when I went to a get-together recently. 2-17: Spicy Potato Salad is similar to a German potato salad in style–it uses vinegar & spices as the dressing instead of mayonnaise.

The main difference between this version and most traditional German potato salads is that this one lacks bacon. But if you miss the bacon that much, feel free to go crazy and add it on back in there.

4-4: Scalloped Parsley Potatoes

Jamie Martin Group 04: Potatoes & Vegetables, Section 1: Appetizers & Starters September 17, 2015April 14, 2020all-purpose flour, black pepper, blanched, boiled, butter, creamy, dinner, easy, egg-free, food processor, half-and-half, inexpensive, lunch, milk, nutmeg, parboiled, parsley, peeled, potatoes, revisited, salt, scalloped, side dish, tender-crisp, vegetable bouillon, vegetable broth, vegetables, vegetarian, white pepper

4-4: Scalloped Parsley Potatoes is the third of my recent 3-recipes-at-1-time attempt–the others being 4-2: Green Beans with Hazelnut Butter and 7-55: Sunday Pork Stew.

I think I’ve made these before, despite the lack of notations. These were really easy and pretty good–very mild yet still flavorful.
