Juicy Pork Chops

Wow, it had been far to long since we last ate Pork Chops!!
They were delicious & easy...
Hope you attempt this recipe as well. The beef boullion made me a little "iffy".. but I'm
glad I gave this recipe a shot! 

RECIPES:
4 Bone-In Pork Chops
1/4 chopped onion
2 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard
1 cube of Beef Bouillon
1 Cup of Water
1 Tbsp of Corn Starch

(Pork Rub)
Sprinkle Salt & Pepper on both sides
Sprinkle Chile Powder & a dusting of Cumin.
Rub all ingredients in!!

Pre-Heat large skillet (Medium-High) add about 1-2 Tbsp of oil &
Saute Pork Chops 3-4 mins per side until golden brown.

 Remove from skillet & place on a plate.


In the same skillet add onion & Dijon Mustard, saute about 2 mins. Scrap off drippings.
Add water, corn starch & beef bouillon. Stir until cube is completely dissolved.
(Taste & adjust seasonings.. I added more water to mellow out the salt content of the beef bouillon)
Place Pork Chops in broth & cover. Cook for 15-20 mins.
** I sprinkled in Lemon Thyme at this point.. Completely Optional.


For the Greens:
Clean & Stem Green Bean. Boil water in a pot, add green beans & cook for 4-5 mins.
Taste for your preferred tenderness.


Drain! Mince a small garlic, heat up a large skillet add 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil.
Add Green Beans, garlic, chopped fresh mint, the zest of half a lemon & season with Salt & Pepper.
Stir to combine all ingredients. About 2 mins, turn heat off.


Plate your meal... & place the light gravy in a bowl as well.


& ENJOY!

Notes: 
The Recipe for the Pork Chops rub is my own. However, the Recipe for the Chops is not. I found the recipe online somewhere... I made this meal last week & went back for the link but could not find it. :(
(Its one of those sites that people upload their own recipes to share).

  1. These were so easy to make and they were a hit! When the kids saw the ingredients, they made a face, but when i started cooking the sauce, the smell really convinced them to try it. They were convinced after their first bite and even were sucking on the bones. Thanks!
