SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS IN A SAVORY PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Place your pork chops onto a work surface, and using a meat mallet, give each a light pounding to tenderize the meat slightly.
• To a small ramekin, add the paprika, granulated garlic and onion, and the white pepper.
• Season the pork chops by sprinkling over each a couple of good pinches of salt and black pepper, then sprinkle over about half of the seasoning mixture in the ramekin; flip the chops and season the other side with a couple more pinches of salt and black pepper, plus the rest of the seasoning mixture in the ramekin.
• Add the heaping 1/2 cup of flour to a large bowl or platter, and dredge both sides of each pork chop in the flour, gently pressing, to coat; shake off any excess flour, and lay onto a plate to hold.
• Place a large heavy bottom pan or skillet over medium high heat, and add in about 1/4 cup of oil, or enough to sear the chops; once the oil is hot, add in 2 pork chops (work in batches), and allow to sear on that first side for 4 minutes, until deeply golden-brown, then flip and sear on the second side for 3 minutes; remove from pan and place onto a plate to hold, and repeat the process with the remaining pork chops.
• Wipe any excessively burned bits out of the pan, then add in the butter, along with about 2 tablespoons of the oil; once the butter is melted, add in the onions, along with a couple of pinches of salt and pepper, plus the Italian seasoning, and caramelize those until golden-brown, about 10 minutes.
• Deglaze the onions with the wine (if using), and allow it to reduce for a moment; add in the garlic and stir to combine, allowing the garlic to become aromatic.
• Next, sprinkle in the 2 tablespoons of flour and stir to combine with the onions, cooking this mixture together for about 30 seconds; next, whisk in the chicken stock/broth.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low or low, and allow the sauce to simmer for a 30 seconds - 1 minute; then, carefully nestle each pork chop into the sauce, and insert a digital thermometer lengthwise, or horizontally, into the center of the thickest chop (the probe will go sideways rather than up and down).
• Generously spoon some sauce over each pork chop, and allow things to gently simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 145°; turn off the heat.
• Allow the smothered pork chops to rest for about 10 minutes in the pan, then garnish with the fresh thyme leaves before serving with either rice or mashed potatoes
