Had a few friends over for a great soul food dinner the other night. The highlight? Well, all of it. But the smothered pork chops I made were the centerpiece.
Add, to a medium hot pan:
2 Onions, thinly sliced
Cook for 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Onions should be translucent, not brown. If you hear a loud sizzle, reduce heat slightly.
Add:
4 Cloves Garlic, smashed
2 Teaspoons Salt
Cook an additional 3 minutes.
Remove from pan.
Turn heat to high, and then brown:
1.5 Pound Pork Chops
Remove pork chops from pan.
Deglaze pan with:
1 Bottle Good Beer
*I used Newcastle.
Add:
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1/2 Can Cola
2 Tablespoons Apricot Jam
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
2 Teaspoons Dried Thyme
2 Teaspoons Mustard
Small Handful Juniper Berries (optional)
Return pork chops, onions, and garlic to the pan.
Cover pan.
Reduce heat to low.
Let simmer 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Add:
5 Springs Fresh Marjoram
5 Springs Fresh Thyme
2 Teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
Thicken sauce.
Impress your friends.

Hey, Hal-- great recipe! I am guessing you return the chops TO the pan....? (as inferred from the direction: "Turning occasionally")
