Herbed Pork Chops
- 4 whole Bone-in Pork Chops
- 2 Tablespoons Light Olive Oil
- 2 cups Chicken Stock
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Basil
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Marjoram
- 1/2 teaspoons Dried Rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Onion Flakes
- 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, Crushed
- 1 whole Lemon, Juiced
- 1 Tablespoon Flour
- 1/4 cups Cold Water
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Pat dry the pork chops with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear both sides of each pork chop.
- Once they are nicely browned on both sides remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- Deglaze the bottom of the pan by adding the chicken stock and whisking.
- Add all the herbs, garlic and the lemon juice to the stock.
- Return the pork chops to the pan, in a single layer, including any juice that has leaked from them.
- Reduce heat to low, cover pan, and simmer for one hour.
- The meat should practically be falling off the bones.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan, set them aside, and turn the heat back to medium high to bring the sauce back to a boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cold water until there are no more lumps.
- Slowly stir this mixture into the sauce.
- Continue stirring constantly until sauce is thickened.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove sauce from heat.
- Serve the pork chops over fresh steamed rice, and drenched in sauce.
- Because of the reduction of the liquid as it cooks, and thickening it with flour, this sauce has a rich, creamy feeling, but it doesnt have all the calories of a typical cream sauce.
- Perfect!
