Chef John's Smothered Pork Chops
allrecipes ^

Posted on 01/15/2022 1:30:40 PM PST by mylife

You know that when a recipe has 'smothered' in the name, it's going to be easy. It's a beautiful combination of dark, rich onion gravy covering pan-fried pork chops. Serve over hot cooked rice. Ingredients

Original recipe yields 4 servings

4 large bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 large yellow onion, sliced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups chicken broth ¼ cup buttermilk ¼ cup water

• DirectionsInstructions Checklist Step 1 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.

Step 2 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.

Step 3 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.

Step 4 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.

The recipe calls for discarding “excess grease?” What the hell do they think covers the pork chops? The more the chops are covered with “drippins,” the better the meal is!

Chef John is a good youtube channel. His chili relleno pancake recipe is great.

Try this one. You won’t be disappointed. A little time consuming but worth it

His voice drives me nuts. It has a weird cadence to it.

I can read the recipes and do them but his videos give you tips that are generally not included in the written ones.

So I grit my teeth and listen.

The pork roast in pumpkin was worth it.

Some people are weird.

I had a friend like that. He used to flip out when he saw us repurposing stored grease/”jellies” that way because it wasnt “healthy” and it was “gross”. Besides, his doctor told him margarine was better.

He developed heart problems.

I dont have that friend anymore.

Yeah

That’s where most of the flavor is!

I save any dark grease - chili gets it all!

My wife complains about aspic and bacon grease. I told her to stay out of my kitchen when I cook, or they will all go hungry.

If you don’t like the taste, tell me, that’s fair, but don’t tell me how to cook whatever. If it’s not the way you like , lumpy oatmeal, then here’s a spoon, best start stirring ‘cause otherwise you’re not eating.

I bake because punching people is frowned upon.
