Do I have late-summer food porn? Yes, I do

Yeah, tonight's delight is smothered pork chops. You will enjoy these tremendously, guaranteed. Real comfort food. Anyway, start with some flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, 4-6 pork chops (I went boneless thick-cut), olive oil, chicken broth, and buttermilk:

 

 So, put a cup of flower in a shallow dish, add 2 tbsp each of onion powder and garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and mix it all up right. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture:


Meanwhile, heat up a large saute pan or cast iron skillet -- I went cast iron -- heat it up and coat it with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Once it's hot, chop up the onion the recipe didn't call for and sautee that stuff:


Once the onions are properly browned, put those floured pork chops in and let 'er rip for about 3 minutes per side:



Once you flip those bad boys, should look like this:


Plate those suckers, and sprinkle some flour in the drippings in that pan. Mix that in, and add a cup of chicken broth. Stir that until it starts to thicken, then add a 1/2 cup of buttermilk. Mix it up right, stir until it thickens:


Once your sauce is properly thickened, put those pork chops back in:


Simmer those bad boys for 10 minutes or so, until you are sure the pork is cooked through. Then serve it with the sides of your choice:


 That's some good eatin' there. Bon apetit.
