Spiced Pork Chops II Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon celery salt

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

⅛ teaspoon dried oregano

⅛ teaspoon dried basil

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 pinch ground black pepper

2 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork loin chops

1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil

¾ cup dry sherry

¾ cup water

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Methods :

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×14-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Mix flour, garlic powder, mustard, paprika, cayenne pepper, celery salt, ground ginger, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish.

Step 3

Dredge pork chops in the flour mixture to coat. Reserve remaining flour mixture.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops in hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to prepared baking dish, reserving any drippings in the skillet.

Step 5

Stir sherry, water, and brown sugar together until sugar dissolves; pour over pork chops.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven until tender and no longer pink in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Move pork chops to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Pour liquid from baking dish into the skillet with reserved drippings.

Step 7

Place skillet with drippings mixture to medium-low heat. Stir cream into the drippings. Cook and stir, gradually integrating reserved flour mixture, until the mixture begins to thicken. Serve as a gravy for the pork chops.
