Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork chops using kitchen scissors.
  2. Sprinkle chops generously with salt, pepper, and sage or poultry seasoning.
  3. Dredge seasoned chops lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat fat in a heavy skillet or frypan over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
  5. Brown the pork chops on both sides, covering with a splatter shield if available, for 10 to 15 minutes total.
  6. Add 1/3 cup boiling water or your chosen braising liquid (canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, pineapple juice, or orange juice) to the pan.
  7. Sprinkle chopped onion over the chops if using.
  8. Cover the pan, leaving the vent slightly open, and reduce heat to maintain a simmer (approx 220°F (104°C) internal pan temp if using a temperature-controlled pan, otherwise low heat).
  9. Simmer for 40 minutes, or until the pork is very tender and no pink remains inside (test by cutting a slit near the bone).
  10. Transfer the cooked chops to a heated serving platter and cover to keep warm.
  11. Increase heat to high (approx 380°F (193°C) if using temperature-controlled pan) and boil down the pan drippings to create a thick gravy.
  12. Spoon off any excess fat from the top of the gravy.
  13. Serve the pork chops topped with the prepared gravy.
