Dinner Preparation
Searing the Chops
My husband loves his cast iron skillet! He seared the chops in the skillet on the stove for about 3 minutes on each side. [Searing is 100% about building flavor; when meat hits a scorching hot pan, it immediately begins caramelizing].
Crock Pot
After the chops are seared, put them in a large crock pot. Pour enough broth over them to cover completely; stir in Italian seasoning. Add a 6 ounce can of tomato paste to the liquid. Add carrots and pearl onions (he seared the vegetables in the skillet also). Cook on low for about 6 hours or until done. The research that he's done on cooking moist, tender meals in the crock pot has shown that lifting the lid during the cooking process decreases moistness... so don't peek!
"Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."
