Ingredients

  • 5 end-cut pork chops, about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
  • Iceberg Wedge Salad, recipe follows, for serving

Directions

Preheat an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the pan. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In same skillet over medium heat add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil, the onions and mushrooms and saute until slightly softened. Add the flour and cumin and cook until lightly golden in color. Stir in the chicken broth and mustard, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the parsley and return all but 1 pork chop back into skillet. Reserve the 1 pork chop for Round 2 Recipe Pork Cabbage Wraps. Season with salt and pepper and spoon the gravy over the pork chops. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through. Transfer to serving plates and serve with the Iceberg Wedge Salad.

    I honestly don't understand how you all made this work. Once I added the flour, it was much too thick. I went ahead and added the broth, and it still ended up too thick to boil or even simmer for that matter. Followed the recipe step by step and have looked it over about 10 times now, but did nothing different. I added the pork chops to this horrible mixture and tried to simmer, but it was so thick the air would not even go through. Very disappointed.
