Are you struggling to decide what to cook for your meal? We’ve got you covered with this simple and delicious recipe for pork chops in onion sauce. This recipe is not only easy to make but also adds a flavorful twist to your regular pork chops.
Ingredients:
- 3 or 4 pork chops
- A handful of coarse salt
- 120 milliliters of olive oil
- 50 grams of onion
- 60 milliliters of sliced almonds
- 50 milliliters of white wine
- 30 milliliters of water
Preparation:
Before we dive into the step-by-step process, let’s gather all the ingredients.
To start preparing the onion sauce, peel and finely chop the onion. Remember, the finer you chop it, the smoother the sauce will be. Keep in mind that we will be blending the sauce later to achieve a creamy consistency.
Sauté the onion with some salt over medium heat until it starts to soften. The cooking point of the onion is crucial for this sauce. A well-fried onion will give the sauce a slightly tangy flavor.
Now, it’s time to add the sliced almonds to continue with the pork chops in onion sauce recipe. Be cautious with the quantity, as almonds act as a powerful thickener. Add the water and white wine. Let it reduce for about five minutes and then let it rest for another five.
Blend the onion sauce until smooth and keep it warm on low heat until ready to serve.
Moving on to the pork chops. Sprinkle some salt over them. If you prefer, you can give them a simple marinade of olive oil and chopped parsley. However, we want the onion sauce to take center stage in this recipe.
Cook the pork chops with just a little bit of oil, almost as if you were grilling them, to minimize the fat content.
Pour the sauce into a gravy boat and serve your pork chops in onion and almond sauce.
