UNCLE PERCY'S CHOPS
Very simply curried chops. This is a recipe that my Mom always made when I was a kid. We are not sure who Uncle Percy is. Shirley, who gave this recipe to my Mom, doesn't have an Uncle Percy so we are not sure. I recently got her to send it to me again as I wanted to make it. Preparation time does not include the marinating time of approximately 1 hour.

Steps:
- Sprinkle pork chops with poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; brown pork chops well on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Discard excess grease from pan and melt butter in the same skillet. Reduce heat to medium and stir onion in the hot skillet with a pinch of salt until onion is very browned and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute; stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into skillet and stir, dissolving browned bits of food in the bottom of the skillet. Pour juices that have accumulated on plate containing pork chops into the sauce. Mix in buttermilk until smooth. Add water. Bring sauce to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until onions begin to break down and sauce is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Place pork chops into sauce, spooning sauce over meat to coat. Turn heat to low and simmer until chops are tender and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Adjust levels of salt and pepper and serve chops with gravy on top.

Steps:
- Prep: Heat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with baking parchment.
- Tenderize: Place pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap and very gently pound using a rolling pin or flat side of a meat mallet (you don't want to flatten them much, you mainly want to tenderize them - 4-5 gentle smacks will do).
- Season: Rub chops all over with oil and mustard. Combine brown sugar, ground paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub seasoning blend all over chops.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness of chops (about 6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness), until they reach an internal temperature of 140°F. Turn oven to broil and broil the pork chops 1-2 minutes, until browned.
- Rest: Remove from the oven and allow chops to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before serving, in order to let temperature rise to 145°F. Do not skip rest!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the soup, broth, rice, garlic powder, dried chives, and onion powder. Transfer to the prepared dish.
- Pat the pork chops dry; place on top of the rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops, to taste. If you don't like a strong onion flavor or if you don't want the chops too salty, use just a portion of the seasoning (not the whole packet).
- Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops at this point. If they are done (and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F), remove them from the dish, cover with foil, and set aside to rest. Give the rice a stir. The rice will not be tender yet, so cover the dish again and return to the oven for about 25-30 more minutes, or just until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops. Garnish with herbs, if desired.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish, so be sure to use the best you can find.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chops, be sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chops will steam instead of sear, resulting in a less flavorful dish.
- Cook the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while cooking the inside through.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chops are cooked to your desired doneness: The USDA recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
