Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound (500g) bone-in pork chops,* (about 3/4-1 inch thick.)
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large onion, (thinly sliced)
pinch of salt
4 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme
1/2 cup chicken broth, (divided)
3/4 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Season pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, seasoning salt, pepper and olive oil.
  • Dredge each chop in the flour; shake off the excess and KEEP THE REMAINING FLOUR.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet or pan over medium heat. When hot, fry the pork chops in a single layer on each side until golden browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove pork chops from the pan and keep warm.
  • In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  • Add in sliced onions and add a pinch of salt. Cook while stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. (Add in 1 tablespoon of the chicken broth if the pan becomes too dry.)
  • Add the garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining flour to the pan. Mix the flour into the onions and cook to dissolve, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce and thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Whisk in the buttermilk (or cream) and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thick and creamy.
  • Return the pork chops to the pan. Coat them in the sauce and let simmer until the pork is completely cooked through, about 5 minutes (or until the pork is cooked to your desired doneness). (The sauce will continue to thicken due the coating on the pork. If too thick, add a little cream or broth to thin out until reaching your desired consistency.)
  • Taste test and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with the chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm.

OBIE GREEN'S SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS



Obie Green's Smothered Pork Chops image

I started making this delicious dish almost 40 yrs ago when I found the recipe in a Woman's Day magazine. They are truely the best pork chops I have ever tasted or made. Anyone who has had them always give them rave reviews. The original recipe calls for 1 inch thick pork chops but I never make it with ones that thick. I have...

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 bone in center cut or lean loin pork chops
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 c any bisquick or pancake mix
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 medium onions, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 Tbsp sugar
1/4 c flour
2 c boiling water

Steps:

  • 1. Wipe chops with paper towels to dry off; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp white pepper; coat with pancake mix. Heat oil in large skillet; brown chops on both sides and place in casserole. I use a large lasagna pan, so that there's plenty of room for the gravy not to spill over) Saute/fry onions with remaining salt, pepper and sugar in same skillet, till lightly browned. Stir in flour; cook for at least 1 - 2 minutes to cook the flour taste out. Gradually add in boiling water while stirring with a whisk. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, till thickened and boils. Pour over chops and cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 1 hour 20 min. Remove chops to serving platter; keep hot. Strain gravy through a sieve, pressing onions with a spoon. (I skip this part bcuz I love the onion pieces in the gravy) Skim fat from gravy if necessary. Serve mashed potatoes and the gravy with chops. Yummo!
  • 2. Obie Green is the owner of a popular New York City Soul Food Restaurant.
  • 3. Note: I have tried making these in a slow cooker, and find you have to zig zag stack them and they have a tendency to fall apart...I like keeping them in a single layer,so they don't break up so much. If you are just cooking for two, and can put them in a single layer, that may work better. But personally, I love leftovers of this dish, and make alot of these yummy pork chops and mashies so we can have reruns. hehe

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS



Smothered Pork Chops image

Get the best pork chops you can, and the thickest, and give yourself a good 12 hours or more of lead time to soak them in the brine. If you are omitting the anise in the brine, you could add some flavor to the dredging flour - chili powder, say, or smoked paprika.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Categories     dinner, meat, main course

Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 thick, bone-in pork chops (more if using smaller chops)
Anise brine (see recipe)
4 tablespoons neutral oil, like peanut or safflower, or lard
1 cup all-purpose flour
8 medium yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 quarts pork stock or chicken stock
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, optional

Steps:

  • In a large nonreactive container, submerge the pork in the brine and place in refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight, then remove the chops and dry well with paper towels.
  • Heat oven to 325. Heat the oil or lard in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat. Dredge the chops in the flour, shaking off the excess. Reserve the leftover flour.
  • Cook the chops in the fat, about 4 minutes per side, until they are brown and crisp on the exterior, and transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the onions and bay leaf and cook, stirring often, until the onions are softened, about 15 minutes. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Add 6 tablespoons flour to the onions, stir well and allow to cook 3 or 4 minutes. Slowly add the stock, stirring and scraping the pan well, until it is incorporated and the mixture is slightly thickened.
  • Return chops to the pot and bring to a simmer, then cover tightly and cook in the oven until very tender, 2 or more hours. Transfer chops to a plate and place pot on stovetop, over medium heat. Reduce sauce until it is thick enough to resemble gravy, skimming excess oil and foam if necessary. Return chops to pot to reheat, then serve with their gravy over rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley if you like.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right pork chops: Choose pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Preparing the pork chops: Before cooking, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the seasonings adhere to the meat and prevent the chops from steaming instead of searing.
  • Seasoning the pork chops: Season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also use a pre-made seasoning blend or marinade if you prefer.
  • Cooking the pork chops: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. You can also transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the pork chops at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Making the gravy: While the pork chops are cooking, make the gravy. You can use the pan drippings from the pork chops, or you can make a gravy from scratch using butter, flour, milk, and seasonings.

Conclusion:

Obie's Smothered Pork Chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are seared until browned and then smothered in a flavorful gravy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. You can serve Obie's Smothered Pork Chops with a variety of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or green beans.
