Pecan meal is created during the shelling process when pecan shells are cracked, sometimes resulting in broken or crushed pieces instead of whole pecans. These pieces are ground down into a uniform consistency and used as pecan meal, retaining all the benefits you would find in a raw pecan. This ensures that no part of the pecan goes to waste, offering a versatile ingredient that can be used in cooking and baking while still delivering the natural goodness of pecans.

Here are some common uses for pecan meal:

🥧 Baking: Pecan meal can be used as a substitute for all-purpose flour or in combination with other flours to create flavorful baked goods like cookies, cakes, muffins, and bread. Pecan meal is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those following a gluten-free diet.
🍗 Coatings and Crusts: Pecan meal works well as a coating for meats. It adds a delicious nutty crust when used as a breading or coating.
🥗 Topping: Sprinkle pecan meal over yogurt, oatmeal, or salads to add crunch and flavor. It can also be used as a topping for fruit crisps or cobblers.
🍵 Thickening Agent: Pecan meal can be used as a thickening agent in soups, stews, and sauces, adding richness and depth of flavor.

Overall, pecan meal is a nutritious and flavorful ingredient that can enhance a wide range of dishes, from sweet to savory. It's a great way to incorporate the natural goodness of pecans into your cooking and baking.

The South Georgia Pecan team will be at the INC, where many positive developments are happening in the pecan industry. Pecans are perfect for consumers seeking antioxidant-rich, heart-healthy options, and people are taking notice. Pecans are among the fastest-growing in the nut segment, and it's easy to see why. If you're not already using pecans, you should consider starting. Ideal for snacking or baking, whether natural or value-added, pecans are always the right choice.

Indulge in the culinary delight of our Pecan Meal Seasoned Pork Chops, where each bite promises a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The pecan meal coating offers a delightful crunch that complements the tender juiciness of the pork chops, creating a sensory experience that tantalizes the taste buds. With each bite, the subtle nuttiness of the pecans enhances the savory seasoning, adding a unique and irresistible twist to this classic dish. Whether served as a weekday dinner or a special occasion meal, these pork chops are sure to leave a lasting impression and have you coming back for more.

✨Ingredients:
- 4 pork chops
- 4 cups water
- ¼ cup salt (for brine)
- Ice cubes (optional, for cooling the brine)
- 4 tablespoons pecan oil
- Additional salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
- 1 Slice garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 1½ cups Pecan Meal (for coating)

✨Instructions:
🟢 Prepare the Brine 🟢
- In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Generously add ¼ cup of salt to the water and stir until dissolved.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the water cool to room temperature. To speed up the cooling process, you can add ice cubes.
- Once the brine has cooled, place the pork chops in a large bowl or container. Pour the brine over the pork chops, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This brining process helps to make the pork chops more moist and flavorful.

🟢 Preheat Oven 🟢
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. You can use a baking rack.

🟢 Season and Coat the Pork Chops 🟢
- Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the pecan oil with a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, sage, thyme, garlic and the red pepper flakes (if using). Rub this mixture all over the pork chops.
- Place the pecan meal in a shallow dish. Dredge each pork chop in the pecan meal, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. For a thicker crust, you can dip the chops into the pecan meal, pat off excess, and then dip again 2 more times.

🟢 Bake the Pork Chops 🟢
- Arrange the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the pecan meal coating is golden and crisp.

🟢 Rest and Serve 🟢
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after removing them from the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring the chops are juicy and tender.
Serve the pecan meal seasoned pork chops hot, with your choice of sides. They pair wonderfully with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your delicious pecan meal seasoned pork chops!
