Oma's Smoked Pork Chops (Kassler)
These smoked pork chops (kassler) are my quick go-to for a hearty dinners ... so easy, and they taste like home!
Most German delis will have this ... it's a type of smoked pork loin chops. Can't find that? Check the hints for alternatives.
Prep Time:

Total Time:

Servings:
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 smoked pork chops (Kassler)
- oil and/or butter to fry
Instructions:
- Heat oil and/or butter, about 2 tablespoons in a fry pan.
- Over medium heat, lightly brown Kasseler chops on both sides.
- 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 Kassler 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.
