Best Pork Chops Smothered In Green Beans Recipes

SOUTHERN SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Use a paper towel to pat dry the pork chops on both sides. Season the chops with salt/pepper- to taste, along with the garlic powder and smoked paprika on all sides. Use your hands (fitted with disposable gloves, if desired) to massage the spices into the chops. Then set the pork chops aside.
• Add the flour into a shallow pie plate or dish. Dip each pork chop into the flour, coating well on all sides, and then shake off excess flour. Add the floured pork chops to a small baking sheet/platter and repeat the process until all the pork chops are coated in flour- but do not discard the remaining flour, set aside.
• In a large non-stick skillet (at least 10-inches or larger), heat the butter/olive oil over medium heat.
• Once the mixture sizzles, gently swirl the skillet to evenly coat the bottom, add the pork chops into the skillet. Careful not to overcrowd the pan, depending on the size of your chops, you may have to cook them in batches. Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nice brown sear/crust appears. Then transfer the fried pork chops to a clean baking sheet/platter and cover them with foil.
• Add the onions into the skillet and sauté, stirring often. Allow the onions to break down and caramelize until they reach a deeply golden-brown color, about 8-10 minutes. Then add in the garlic and continue stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Take 2 tablespoons of the reserved flour and sprinkle it into the skillet. Stir the flour into the onion mixture until all the flour begins to dissolve. The flour should absorb most, if not all, of any butter/oil left in the skillet- making sure that all the flour has fully dissolved.
• Sprinkle in the fresh thyme and stir together once more. Pour in the stock and use a wooden utensil to stir the stock into the mixture, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the mixture starts to thicken some, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the heavy cream to bring the gravy together and allow the mixture to come up to a simmer. Then taste the gravy and adjust it to your preference by adding more salt/pepper, as desired.
• Add in the pork chops along with any residual juices and spoon the gravy over them. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chops simmer in the gravy to finish off, about 10-15 minutes more. The gravy will thicken nicely, take on a deeper color, and meld with the pork chops.
• Then remove from heat and let the dish cool for 5 minutes. Serve the smothered pork chops immediately alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, rice, veggies, or other desired side items. Enjoy!

PORK CUTLETS WITH SMOTHERED PARMESAN GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until foam subsides. Cook shallots and garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 5 minutes.
• Add wine and boil until reduced by half. Add cream, 1/2 cup water, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and bring just to a boil. Add green beans and simmer, tightly covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and liquid is slightly thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered.
• Clean skillet, then heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Pat pork dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then cook, turning once, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate. Pour off oil in skillet. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add remaining tablespoon water, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Stir in bean mixture and meat juices from plate and heat over medium heat. Stir in parmesan.
• Serve pork over green beans.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil. Add chopped onion and stir over medium-high heat until slightly translucent, but not browned. Sprinkle flour over onions and stir together to cover onion pieces with flour. Slowly pour in water while stirring. Keep stirring until mixture has thickened slightly.
• 3. Add cubed smoked pork chop. Turn down heat a bit and continue to stir as mixture bubbles and thickens and meat warms.
• 4. Drain beans and add to the onion/meat mixture. Add the vinegar. Stir together until evenly mixed. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 5. NOTE: if there's time, finish cooking beans before you need the water in step 2, then use the boullion-bean liquid instead of plain water.
