For this meal we're doing a crust… and a glaze. You gasp, you hold a hand to your forehead, you text your friends and loved ones that you've seen what can't be done be done, but yes, we've done it! Crunchy, salty pretzels on a delicious pork chop, and a miso-cider-Dijon mix, perfectly earthy, perfectly puckering, glazing the pretzel pork chop. A crust and a glaze? In this economy? Yes.
