Thin Pork Chops


I made another pork chop recipe last night that I got from my MIL.  It's really more of a concept than a recipe.  The recipe is for thin pork chops, but you could use any cut.  I used center cut.  Justin and Rebecca loved it :)  I ate leftover beef...needs to be used up, and I wanted enough pork left for Justin's lunch.  I served the pork chops and gravy over brown rice.


Thin Pork Chops

1 Tbsp. EVOO
2-4 pork chops
salt, pepper, seasoning salt to taste
1 cup water

Gravy
2 Tbsp. flour
1/4 cup cold water

Heat EVOO in large skillet.  Season chops.  Brown chops on both sides - about 5 min. per side.  Add 1/2 - 1 cup water to the pan.  Cover.  Cook over low heat for 1 hour.  You may need to add water while it's cooking if it all evaporates.

Remove chops from pan.  Keep warm.  Mix flour and cold water.  Add a little at a time to the water in the pan, cooking until desired thickness...about 1 minute.  Add extra water to thin the gravy/make more.  Add extra flour/water mixture to make thicker.

Serve pork chops and gravy over rice or mashed potatoes.

    I grew up eating pork chops made exactly like this, too. I think this is exactly the "recipe"/method/ingredients my grandma and mom use. I'm not a fan of gravy (except on Thanksgiving... only day of the year I like gravy... weird, I know), so I have never put the gravy on mine before, but everyone else always loves it like that.

    There was a day when I thought I knew something about cooking. But I think the science has passed me by; what on earth is EVOO?:) Pork chops were my Dad's favorite meal, and I got his genes. I don't think I've ever had a pork chop I didn't like, and I'll bet I would even like one cooked in EVOO!

    It's just oil...Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Justin must have gotten his love of pork from you. I don't eat very much of it. I'll take beef over pork any day :)
