Throw back Sunday

"Sunday Dinner" at my house growing up didn't exist. Of course, we ate dinner on Sundays but it wasn't the Americana so many people I know took part in. Thankfully my boyfriend understands this and, probably because he feels a little sorry for me, does his best to make it a tradition in our home. This is a GF recipe if you take the flour out. Serve it with a baked potato and salad or broccoli.

*Smothered Chops*
(serves 4)

1# lean, boneless pork chops (4 each)
1 medium onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1T olive oil
2T flour
1.5 cups chicken stock

Salt and pepper the chops. Place the flour in a plastic bag, add the chops and shake it to dredge them slightly. In a large skillet (that has a lid) heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chops and brown, about 3 minutes each side. Remove them to a plate and put in the onion and garlic. Saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the stock. Add the chops, reduce the heat and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chops to a clean plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Turn up the heat and boil the sauce until it reduces a bit, about 5 minutes. Serve chops with sauce on top.
