Smothered Pork Chops in Mushroom and

Onion Gravy

prep time: 10 minutes cook time: 30 minutes yield: 4 servings

4 tablespoons ghee, divided (or lard or coconut oil if
dairy-free)
2 cups thinly sliced onions
2 cups chicken or beef bone broth, homemade (here)
or store-bought
4 (8-ounce) bone-in pork loin chops
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups sliced button mushrooms

1. To make the gravy, melt 2 tablespoons of the
   ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the
   onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   Add the broth and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the
   broth has reduced by almost half, then slide the skillet
   off the heat.


2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the pork chops with the salt
   and pepper. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee
   in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add
   the mushrooms and sauté for 6 minutes or until brown.
   Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
