French Onion Smothered Pork Chops

When French Onion Soup meets Smothered Pork Chops, superb issues occur…. These juicy pan seared pork chops are served with an unimaginable French Onion flavoured gravy made with caramelised onions, then topped with melted cheese to finish the French Onion expertise.

Smothered Pork Chops – the French method! 😉

FRENCH ONION MEETS SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Everytime you see the phrase “smothered” within the context of meals, you’re onto a very good factor. 

Whether or not it’s Chicken smothered in Mushroom Gravy, Steaks with Peppercorn Sauce, Salisbury Steak or Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy, if it’s smothered then you’re in for a very good meal.

Proper??

At present’s smother sauce of alternative – French Onion Gravy. ↓↓↓

There’s a juicy pork chop below there.

Promise.

THE CARAMELISED ONION

I promised you French Onion, and French Onion you shall get.

So in true French Onion soup fashion, we’re beginning with a base of caramelised onions. 2 large onions, sliced into rounds then leisurely sautéed in butter for quarter-hour till they remodel from a large mound of eye-stinging uncooked onion into THIS: candy, golden, caramelised onion. With no assist from sugar in any respect!

INGREDIENTS IN FRENCH ONION SMOTHERED PORK

The caramelised onion makes such a superb flavour base, there’s only a few different flavourings required for this French Onion Smothered Pork.

Butter, garlic and onion for the Caramelised Onion. Easy seasonings for the chops – garlic powder (not crucial), salt and pepper. Beef broth/inventory and flour to make the French Onion Gravy.

And the finishes touches: cheese to soften on prime of the pork chops, and just a little sprinkle of recent rosemary.

Skip or sub the rosemary. However in the event you’re after a real French Onion expertise, don’t skip the cheese! (I really feel like I say that so much…..🤔)

ALL MADE IN ONE SKILLET

I wish to make these French Onion Smothered Chops in a single skillet. To not save on washing up, as a result of truly, utilizing one skillet will increase the general prepare dinner time.

One skillet means we don’t waste any flavour. Caramelise the onions first, then take away. Use the residual fats within the skillet to sear the pork chops briefly – we would like them uncooked on the within to complete cooking later in the French Onion Gravy.

Take the pork chops out then return the onion into the skillet to make the gravy. This manner, our gravy additionally advantages from all these tasty brown bits left within the pan from searing the chops (known as fond, if you would like the technical time period!).

Then lastly, we return the chops into the gravy to complete cooking. It’s a two-way flavour road right here – the chops absorb these tasty gravy flavours, and the juices from the chops mingles into the gravy.

As for the completion, that melted cheese…

Sure it’s non-compulsory.

However round these components, French Onion Soup with out a piece of tacky bread is simply onion soup…. 😂 ~ Johnsat x

PS Sure this may be made with chicken. Or beef, for that matter. Although It’d in all probability skip the cheese for beef.
