Now you can proceed with the cooking: pour the olive oil in a pan with high sides, heat the oil and with a thermometer check that the temperature arrives and does not exceed 170 ° to obtain a perfect and dry frying. Fry the chops for about 4-5 minutes, soaking them while keeping the bone in your hands or with the kitchen tongs. It is recommended not to cook more than one or two at a time, so as not to lower the oil temperature. Cooking time may vary according to the size of the ribs. |
