Croatian “Samobor pork chops”

This meal is from Zagreb suburb Samobor. Long

time ago, Samobor was part of Napoleon’s “Iliric
County” (Zagreb was in Habsburg monarchy) and
after that Samobor is well known for its mustard
and sausages (French recipes). This recipe is not
from Napoleon time. As usual, everyone in Croatia
thinks they know the best way of cooking Samobor
pork chops, and this is how I make it.
INGREDIENTS
1500 g pork chops ; (separate)
60 g Flour
35 g garlic
2 teaspoons red paprika ; (dried)
7 cups beef stock
1800 g potato
15 g lard
40 g parsley leaves
1 g pepper
35 g Salt
INSTRUCTIONS
First rind potato and cut in 1/8 parts. Put them in large pot (the best is clay pot for baking
bread) cover with some lard and salt, and bake it for 30 minutes in the oven.

During this season pork chops and cover with flour. Remove surplus flour and fry each pork
chop in frying pan on lard. Take them out and remove to warm place. Mince garlic and add it
into frying pan on dripping fat. Fry garlic just 10 seconds and add just little flour and some stock.
Sauté it 1 minute and add some more beef stock. Put back pork chops, mix it with sauce and
add beef stock if necessary. Sauté meat until potato is ready (soft). Put meat into potato pot and
cover with sauce, sprinkle with parsley and put it in oven for just 5 minutes to bake on strong
top heat. When serve, it is nice to bring the whole pot to the table, your guests will be satisfied
with the view.
