Monday’s Bread Bowl: Thai Peanut Bake

Rub it and bake it, Asian style
Preparing pork chops (or chicken parts) using A Taste of Thai Spicy Peanut Bake is a fast and tasty cooking method that The Mixed Stew crew has done many times for years. There’s no big fuss or heavy coatings. This Asian-inspired seasoning mix creates a light crunch with crushed peanuts that’s also sweet and spicy. Here's our rendition:


What you will need:
1 (gallon-size) Ziploc bag
1 (3.5 oz) packages A Taste of Thai Spicy Peanut Bake
4-6 medium sized pork chops, thawed*
1 large baking dish with baking (wire) rack
Cooking Spray
Optional Additions:
½ cup minced cilantro
½ cup crushed roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons sesame seeds




Cooking and Directions:

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Pour both packages of A Taste of Thai Spicy Peanut Bake in Ziploc bag. Place pork chops in bag (one or two at a time) and shake to coat pork chops evenly and thoroughly. Spray baking dish’s wire rack with cooking spray. Next, position coated pork chops on wire rack. Sprinkle optional additions over top of chops. Bake for 35-45 minutes. Serve immediately.
*Helpful Hint: We used 2 packets of Thai Peanut Bake because our pork chops were bigger than usual.
