Recipe 22: Sour Cream Pork Chops

Ingredients

1. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2. 4 (1-inch-thick) boneless pork chops
3. 1 1/2 cups sliced onion, separated into rings
4. 1 (8-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
5. 1 cup beef broth
6. 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
7. 1 teaspoon paprika
8. 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
9. 1/2 teaspoon salt
10. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
11. 1 cup sour cream
12. Hot cooked rice
13. Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Place onion evenly over pork chops. Spread mushrooms over onion.
2. In a small bowl, combine broth, parsley, paprika, mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour broth mixture over pork chops. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Stir in sour cream, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Do not let boil. Serve over hot rice. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

This recipe was very yummy, although my kids were not impressed, I thought it was delicious. It was really easy to make and I thought it was decently healthy. Mostly because it wasn't heavily breaded or fried and pork is a pretty lean meat. I also thought it was inexpensive to make. I had most of the ingredients and I left out the mushrooms, plus the pork chops were on sale. Overall I thought this was a keeper and I will make it again.
