Onion And Garlic Smothered Pork Chops

• 4 center-cut pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (any cut will do)
• 1 large onion, peeled, sliced, and separated into rings
• 3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
• black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

1. Heat the olive oil in pan on top of stove over medium heat until very hot.
2. Sear pork chops on both sides; remove from pan.
3. Reduce heat and saute onion and garlic until soft.
4. Return pork chops to pan, placing them on top of onions and garlic.
5. Add a little water and cover pan tightly with lid.
6. Let simmer over medium heat until pork chops are well done, adding a little water as necessary to keep from burning.
7. Remove chops from pan and let the sauce cook until thickened.
8. Spoon over chops to serve.
9. Note: If you want more "gravy" add water and flour at the end to thicken.
