Smothered Pork Chops

January 16, 2012 by Julie 12 Comments

Did you watch the Golden Globes last night?  They were pretty dull.  I watched to see if Homeland would will Best Drama TV Series and to see if Claire Danes would win Best Actress in a TV Drama Series.  It did and she did!  Love that show!

And, of course, I watched to see what everyone was wearing!!

Smothered Pork Chops

Recipe adapted from Food Network Magazine–Dec 2011

Ingredients:

6 boneless pork chops
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, slice 1/4″ thick
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (I used shiitake mushrooms.)
1 tablespoon thyme
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2/3 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt and the Cajun seasoning.  Pour the flour into a shallow dish.  Dredge the pork chops in the flour, coating on both sides.  Tap off any excess flour.  Reserve the remaining flour.

Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the pork chops to the heated skillet.  Cook until browned, 2-3 minutes on each side.  Transfer browed pork chops to a plate.

Add the butter, onion, mushrooms, and thyme to the skillet.  Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour to the skillet.  Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.  Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and cook about 2 minutes.  Add the buttermilk to the skillet, stir.

Return the pork chops to the skillet.  Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low.  Cook until the sauce is thickened and the pork chops are cooked, 10-12 minutes.

Serve!

    I thought they were pretty dull too. I was prepared for some Ricky Gervais madness. Liked the dresses you highlighted, but I thought there were a few “armor” or warrior princess models (including Clare’s). Great recipe post btw!

    I never watch TV b/c we still don’t have our converter box hooked up (sloooow) but I love looking at the dresses-so pretty! Good job on another savory recipe! It looks sooo yummy with that sauce and the onions and mushrooms. I’m following your lead and have a bunch of savory recipes to share when I come back to blogging in February-can’t wait!

    I don’t watch nearly enough tv these days…. sigh I don’t even know what show Claire danes is in. That’s what happens when you have a toddler my days are spent watching kiddie shows. These pork chops look amazing.

      Ah it’s called Homeland and it’s on Showtime. It’s so good!!! Maybe you can Netflix it when season 1 comes out on DVD.
