Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry. Season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Dust lightly with flour, pat off excess.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a wide heavy pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chops 3-4 min per side until deep gold. Lift onto a plate.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Melt the butter in the pan. Add thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep gold and jammy.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms, cook 5 min until softened.
  5. Add minced garlic, dried thyme and remaining flour. Stir 60 seconds.
  6. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, will thicken 3-4 min.
  7. Stir in the double cream. Return the chops with any plate juices. Cover, simmer over low heat 20-25 minutes until the chops are fork-tender.
  8. Boil the potatoes 15 min until knife-tender. Drain. Mash with butter, milk, salt and pepper. Plate the mash, lay a chop on top, spoon the onion-mushroom gravy generously over. Steamed green beans alongside, scatter parsley.
