Time 31m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, bone-in
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup buttermilk
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a shallow platter and add the onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to remove any moisture and then dredge them in the seasoned flour; shaking off the excess.
  • Heat a large saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make a creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

These smothered pork chops are simply wonderful! We enjoyed these with mashed potatoes, fresh field peas, scalloped tomatoes and some nice fresh crusty french bread. Even though my photo only shows 2 chops, this recipe is for 4. I cut down the portions when I'm just cooking for 2.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp onion powder
2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp pepper, freshly ground
4 pork chops, 3/4-inch thick, bone in
1/4 c olive oil

  • 2. Heat a large sauté pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat and coat with the oil. I usee an iron skillet, it's heavy and you can count on an even heat. I'm pretty sure it's a southern thang as well.
  • 3. When the oil is nice and hot, lay the pork chops in the pan in a single layer and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • 4. Remove the pork chops from the pan and add a little sprinkle of seasoned flour (about 2 spoonfulls) to the pan drippings. Mix the flour into the fat to dissolve and then pour in the chicken broth in. Let the liquid cook down for 5 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly. Stir in the buttermilk to make creamy gravy and return the pork chops to the pan, covering them with the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the pork is cooked through.

This is the same recipe my grandma used to cook. Nothing fancy about it. No exotic ingredients. I updated it by using cooking spray instead of shortening but otherwise, it is the same. Just plain old down home comfort food. Sure is good with rice or mashed potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Pork Chops: Opt for bone-in pork chops as they tend to stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Dry Brining: Enhance the flavor of your pork chops by dry brining them for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This technique helps the meat absorb the seasonings and results in a more succulent dish.
  • Seasoning the Pork Chops: Use a generous amount of seasonings to create a flavorful crust on the pork chops. A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder works well.
  • Cooking the Pork Chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet until they develop a golden brown crust. This step helps lock in the juices and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Making the Buttermilk Gravy: Use the drippings from the pork chops to make a rich and flavorful buttermilk gravy. Whisk together buttermilk, flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Slowly add the drippings while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Adding Aromatics and Vegetables: Enhance the flavor of the gravy by adding aromatics like onions, garlic, and celery. You can also include vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for added texture and flavor.
  • Simmering the Gravy: Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until it thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  • Serving the Dish: Serve the smothered pork chops with the buttermilk gravy poured over them. Accompany the dish with sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a simple salad.
