Austrian Smoked Pork Chops

Austrian Smoked Pork Chops are the lesser-known cousin to Wiener Schnitzel but just as popular in Austria.  We have fond memories of dining on them during our numerous trips to beautiful Austria and enjoy cooking them at home too.  Relatively easy to make, we recommend using boneless smoked pork chops as the bone will be obscured by the crispy breading and thus a bit difficult to find when eating them.  Garnished with lemon wedges, crispy, smoky, tender Austrian Smoked Pork Chops will be a sure fire hit with your family and friends.  Serve them with Brussels Sprouts with Shallots and Oyster Sauce accompanied by a crisp, cold Grüner Veltliner for a very tasty, colorful dinner.

Smoky Balkan White Bean Soup

Smoky Balkan White Bean Soup is inspired by the bean and smoked meat soups popular in the Balkans with a nod to Hungarian goulash soup too.  Here we use white beans, bacon, smoked pork chops and smoked sausage combined with a heady mix of seasonings to yield a hearty, smoky, meaty soup which is a meal all by itself.  Enjoy our Smoky Balkan White Bean Soup for lunch or with a Greek Cucumber Tomato Salad and good bread for dinner.
