Not everyone likes pork chops. They can be chewy, overcooked, and just downright nasty. My boyfriend is one of those people. Having been raised on the chops, I enjoy them. It's a quick and easy dinner idea that can be extremely versatile. So, I decided to challenge myself and make my unsuspecting boyfriend enjoy them as much as I do. Here the breakdown:
1 package of shitake mushrooms
6 thin cut pork chops
1/3 can Cream of Mushroom condensed soup
1 small onion
Garlic salt
Ground sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
Fresh rosemary (dried rosemary is ok too, just grind before using)
Olive Oil
Set stove on medium. Coat skillet with a thin coat of olive oil. Slice the think cut pork chops into 1 inch thick strips. Season with a pinch of garlic salt, and season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Quickly brown both sides of the thinly cut pork chops. Add chopped onion and shitake mushrooms. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the cream of mushroom soup, a little rosemary to taste and reduce to a simmer. Let the chops simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
Mission accomplished. He asked that I make it again, but next time with more shrooms.
