"One of my favorite things about living in Bushwick, Brooklyn, is my proximity to Foster Sundry. This gourmet provisions store has everything from peak-season produce to a whole-animal butcher counter. I go there anytime I need charcuterie, cheese, ethically-sourced spices, and fruit and veggies that are actually ripe and flavorful (finding good produce in NYC can be a struggle). One day, while shopping for my usual homemade sausages (the green chorizo and beet/dill are my favorites), I spotted some smoked pork chops in the case."
"The butcher explained they would be around all fall and winter and could be frozen for later - a defrost and simple sear in a cast-iron skillet would bring it back to life. Intrigued, I bought one for that "later" scenario, an evening when I wanted a home-cooked meal but didn't have a lot of time to make it. And let me tell you, that meal was good."
"The beauty of these smoked pork chops lies in their simplicity. Foster Sundry focuses on small, local producers, so the meat itself is already flavorful (and expertly cut by the butcher team). From there, salt, sugar and spices do the heavy lifting before a smoker brings the whole thing home. Best of all, they are easy enough to make in a domestic kitchen."
