Pork Chops

Pickled Onions

Method

Pork Chops Preparation

  1. 1

    Season and Dredge

    Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chops

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Roux Brown Gravy Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Melt the butter and stir in the flour to create a roux. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.

Pickled Onions Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the red onion thinly and place in a jar or bowl.

  2. 6

    Pickling Solution

    In a small saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.

  3. 7

    Pickle the Onions

    Pour the hot pickling solution over the sliced onions. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Smother the Chops

    Place the fried pork chops back into the skillet with the gravy, spooning the gravy over the chops. Allow them to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  2. 9

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the smothered pork chops with pickled onions on top and your choice of two Fixins: mashed potatoes and steamed green beans.
