The Other White Meat

It's time for another recipe!

This one is very similar to a dish my Mom would make on occasion. When I started living on my own after college, I would make it alot myself, but never could get it quite right. I gave it up for awhile before I finally found a happy medium. It's pretty good, but you might want to keep some scented candles onhand for afterward - unless you like the smell of onions. I used Lipton onion soup mix, if it's not available where you are, well..hopefully there is some kind of equivalent.

PORK CHOPS IN ONION GRAVY
You will need:
3-4 Pork Chops, any variety
1 envelope dried onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups water (chicken/pork stock would also work well)
3 tablespoons flour

In a large skillet, brown the pork chops over medium high heat (avoid the temptation to season the chops with salt or pepper. There is plenty of seasoning in the gravy). Set the chops aside. Deglaze the pan with your liquid. I used water, stock can probably be used, but again, there is plenty of seasoning in the soup mix, so if you decide to use stock, I would go with a low-sodium variety.

Whisk in the flour and soup mix. Bring the mixture to a simmer, it should already be somewhat thick. Add the chops back in.

Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. You may want to turn the chops over halfway through the cooking process and give the gravy a light whisk.

Goes great on rice!
