Smothered Pork Chops

I am going to be copying my favorite recipes from an old recipe blog of mine. :)

From Sandra Lee: Food Network. I don't always love her recipes, but these were yummy. :)

5 pork chops
Salt and Pepper
2 tablespoons oil, divided 
1 medium onion, chopped 
1 cup sliced mushrooms 
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
1 teaspoon ground cumin 
1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth 
2 tablespoons spicy mustard 
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves 

Preheat a skillet over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the pan. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside. 


In same skillet over medium heat add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil, the onions and mushrooms and saute until slightly softened. Add the flour and cumin and cook until lightly golden in color. Stir in the chicken broth and mustard, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the parsley and return all pork chops back into skillet. Season with salt and pepper and spoon the gravy over the pork chops. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through.
