OBIE'S SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS
From the cookbook, "Harlem Really Cooks" by the late Harlem historian and gourmand Sandra Lawrence. "Obie" was a friend of hers who owned a nightclub/restaurant and smothered chops were one of the many specialties made there. The use of pancake mix in lieu of plain flour gives this dish a slight sweetness along with the sugar as well. The only change I made was the addition of mushrooms to the gravy. Serve with recipe #299114 - I hope you like it. And please, do buy the book. *Note: If you don't eat pork for religious or health reasons, turkey chops are a fine substitute.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Rinse chops, then pat them dry. Sprinkle with spices mentioned above. Then dredge into pancake mix.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chops into the skillet. Brown the chops on both sides. Remove from the skillet and place in a roasting pan.
- In the skillet, now saute the onions and mushrooms with the salt, pepper and sugar until slightly browned.
- Stir in the flour until absorbed. Gradually add the boiling water, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and boils.
- Place chops in the pan; cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour and twenty minutes; the chops and gravy should be a rich golden brown.
- Place chops on a serving platter; either place gravy on top, or strain through sieve and put gravy in a gravy boat; skim fat off top and serve.
