No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Cracker Crusted Pork Chops with Mango Salsa

Here's a great recipe for cracker crusted pork chops with mango salsa. This was so yummy! 

You can use Ritz crackers in your breading mixture, but I used something similar called mini kids buttery crackers. The flavour is the same. Even my 10 month old loved this dinner, especially the asparagus and salsa.



Cracker Crusted Pork Chops with Mango Salsa
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
For the Salsa
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1/2 sweet bell pepper (any colour), diced
  • 1/4 cup minced sweet onion
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley (or cilantro if you like it)
  • 1 plum tomato, diced
  • juice of 2 limes
  • salt
  • pepper
For the Pork Chops
  • 4 pork loin chops (about 1/2" thick)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup crushed butter crackers (use your hands to do the job)
  • olive oil for frying
Directions
Salsa
  1. Mix all ingredients together and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Pork Chops
  1. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip the chops in the egg and then coat with cracker crumbs.
  2. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a nonstick pan on medium heat. Fry the pork chops for about 7 minutes on one side or until golden, then flip and cook on the other side until cooked through, about another 7 minutes depending on how thick your chops are.

Tip: I served mine with steamed vegetables. You can use any type of cracker you like for this. I don't have any crackers of my own at the moment so I stole some from my kid's stash. Mini butter crackers. I will try it with crushed cheddar Goldfish next time. Also, you could add some minced jalapeno, I didn't think my little ones would appreciate the heat so I left it out.
