BAKED PORK CHOPS COVERED WITH FOIL RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay out two 18-inch square pieces of aluminum foil on a work surface.
• Place potatoes, carrots, and zucchini on 1 piece of foil. Pour oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with seasoning; toss gently to combine. Place pork chops on top of vegetables. Cover with the second piece of foil and crimp the edges to seal the foil packet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chops should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
• Line a large baking tin with alumnium foil leaving a very generous overlap over all sides (you'll probably need four sheets - two across and two lengthwise).
• In a large frying pan, melt the butter and fry the pork chops on both sides until golden brown.
• Transfer cooked chops to the foil lined baking tin.
• Sprinkle chops evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper and thyme.
• Add mushrooms to the frying pan, along with a little more butter if necessary, and cook, stirring, until the juices from the mushrooms begin to run.
• Add the lemon juice (it seems like a lot of juice, but it won't be too lemony, trust me) and allow it to boil for 1 minute.
• Now, sprinkle on the flour and stir with a wooden spoon to combine (it looks like a dog's breakfast now, but don't worry!).
• Spoon this mushroom mixture evenly over the pork chops.
• Sprinkle LIGHTLY with a little more salt and pepper.
• Spoon big dobs of creme fraiche evenly over the top of the mushroom mixture.
• Wrap the whole lot loosely in the foil, sealing securely, but making sure you leave some space between the top of the chops and the foil.
• Bake on the centre shelf of the preheated 180c (350F) oven for 1 hour.
• Remove from oven, unwrap and serve, spooning any extra juices over the chops - you'll find you have more of a 'topping' than a 'sauce'.
• Serve with simple side dishes as this is a rich meal.
