I don’t make pork very often.  But when I am in the mood for a pork chop, this is the way I have to make it.  It does take a lot more prep-time and prep is much more messy then many of my recipes, but it is worth it.  The pork chops fuse with the breading in a delightful way, and the cream of mushroom-vine gravy is so good you will be tempted to drink it.
