Smothered Baby Panda Chops with Potatoes

[MrScorpio]

* 6 thick baby panda chops
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 cup white wine, or broth
* 4 potatoes, thinly sliced
* 2 large onions, thinly sliced
* 1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
* 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) minced fresh parsley, divided
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs, tossed with 2 tablespoons butter, melted
* 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme

Brown baby panda chops in oil. Increase heat and add wine, scraping up browned bits. Place baby panda chops in baking pan; pour in pan juices. Top with potatoes, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 3 tablespoons of the parsley. Pour beef broth around sides. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350° for 30 to 40 minutes. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs and remaining parsley and a little more thyme. Put back in oven and bake for about 5 to 10 minutes longer, until crumbs are lightly browned.

2. I prefer baby seal kabobs flambee

Panda gives me indigestion, just like bald eagle filets.

6. Gordon Ramsey had them make this on :"Hell's Kitchen"

a few weeks ago. The aspiring chefs had a hell of a time with the dish... they couldn't quite make the breadcrumbs right...

7. You could eat this dish on Rhino ivory plates and use Tiger fur napkins

Maybe an appetizer of spotted owl feet.
