PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN CARAMELIZED ONIONS



Pork Chops Smothered in Caramelized Onions image

I created this dish for my husband, as he loves the flavor of deeply caramelized onions. It was a big hit and is sure to become one of our regular meals. I served it with homemade applesauce and skillet country potatoes. Yummm!

Provided by MarthaStewartWanabe

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless pork chops, with as much fat removed as possible
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

  • Season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Melt 2 tbs. butter in a large skillet over medium heat, evenly coating the bottom of the skillet.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Cook both sides of chops for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. (Note: It is okay if the chops are not completely done, as there is more cooking time to come.).
  • Push chops to outside edges of skillet. Melt the remaining 1 tbs. butter in the center of the skillet and add onions to the center of the skillet, sprinkling with sugar.
  • Replace skillet cover and cook for 10 minutes, frequently tossing and stirring onions with a spatula. Onions are caramelized when tender and medium-brown in color. My husband prefers cooking them until slightly burned, as the flavor intensifies. (Note: Don't forget to watch your chops to make sure they don't burn.).
  • Check chops for doneness before serving. They will be done when a fork piercing the thickest part of the chop draws clear juice. If the juice is pink, cook chops a bit longer until done. (Note: Make sure to watch onions, so they don't burn.).
  • Serve pork chops with caramelized onions piled on top.

PORK CHOPS SMOTHERED IN ONION GRAVY



Pork Chops Smothered in Onion Gravy image

This recipe calls for 4 pork chops because that's about what you can fit into a standard frying pan, though I've squeezed 6 smaller chops in before. I recommend you double the recipe because my husband eats them two at a time. Serve the smothered pork chops over cooked rice with your favorite vegetable side dish and cornbread.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons seasoned salt
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, or more to taste
½ cup self-rising flour
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, or more to taste
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Mix seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika together in a bowl; rub about 3/4 teaspoon spice mixture onto each pork chop. Thoroughly coat each pork chop with flour, saving remaining seasoning and flour for the gravy.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat; cook pork chops in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate, retaining drippings in the pan. Cover pork chops with paper towels.
  • Cook and stir onion in the drippings in the heavy skillet over medium heat until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add mushrooms, remaining flour, remaining spice mixture, and about 1 teaspoon water if needed to moisten; cook and stir until onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir 2 cups water into onion-mushroom mixture until gravy is smooth; bring to a boil. Place pork chops in the gravy, reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until pork chops are tender, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
