CARAMELIZED ONION SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- Brine the chops: Combine the water, 1/4 cup kosher salt , and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. When the salt and sugar are dissolved, take the saucepan off the heat and add the rosemary sprig and iced water. Keep stirring until the brine is completely cooled down.
- Put the pork chops in a large zip-top plastic bag, and pour in the brine. Squeeze the air out of the plastic bag and seal tightly. Lay the bag in a baking dish (in case there's any leakage) and refrigerate 4 hours and up to 8 hours. (Alternatively, arrange the pork chops in a baking dish in a single layer, pour the brine over the chops and cover with plastic wrap. Halfway through the brining time, turn the chops over.)
- One hour before cooking, take the pork chops out of the refrigerator, drain and discard the brine and rosemary sprig. Pat the pork chops dry and cover loosely with paper towels.
- Make the caramelized onions: Melt the butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, about 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and several good grinds of fresh pepper. Cover for 10 minutes.
- Remove the cover and stir the onions. Sauté for another 15 or 20 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally and watching that they don't burn. When the onions have caramelized to your liking, take the pan off the heat.
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly season the pork chops with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle the minced rosemary over both sides of all the chops, pressing down lightly to adhere the rosemary to the pork.
- Heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides, 2 minutes per side. Cover the pork chops with the caramelized onions, then put the skillet into the oven.
- Bake the chops 15 minutes until their internal temperature reaches 138 F on an instant-read thermometer . Remove the skillet from the oven, and let the chops rest 5 minutes before serving.

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.

- Season the pork chops generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the chops before cooking. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cumin, to taste.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the chops and help to keep them juicy on the inside. Be sure to sear the chops for at least 2 minutes per side.
- Cook the pork chops in the oven. After searing the chops, transfer them to a baking dish and bake them in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the caramelized onion mushroom sauce. While the pork chops are cooking, you can make the caramelized onion mushroom sauce. This sauce is made with onions, mushrooms, butter, and white wine. It is rich and flavorful and pairs perfectly with the pork chops.
- Serve the pork chops with the caramelized onion mushroom sauce. Once the pork chops and the sauce are both done, serve them together. You can garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives.
