Pickled Onions

Fixins

Method

Pickled Onions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Onions

    Slice the red onion thinly and combine with apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and water in a jar. Seal and shake well. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Pork Chops

  1. 2

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 3

    Fry the Pork Chops

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Roux Brown Gravy

  1. 4

    Make the Roux

    In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is a deep brown color, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Place the fried pork chops on a serving plate, smother with the roux brown gravy, and top with pickled onions. Serve with your choice of fixins like mashed potatoes and green beans.
