Instructions

Lightly tenderize 4 pork chops with a meat mallet. Using a knife, make several short incisions around the perimeter of the meat, about ¼ inch deep.
Season both sides of the chops with salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste.
Heat 1 Tablespoon pork lard in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops in a single layer in the hot skillet, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the fried pork chops from the skillet and set them aside. Lower the heat, add 2 small onions, peeled and finely chopped, and a tablespoon of water. Scrape off the brown bits with a flat wooden spoon while frying the onions until golden brown.
Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the fried onions, then remove the pan from the heat.
Mix 1 cup heavy cream and 2 Tablespoons yellow mustard in a bowl, then add the mixture to the pan with the pork chops. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves.
Cover the skillet with a lid and place it in a preheated oven at 340 °F for 30 minutes. Then remove the lid, raise the oven temperature to 360 °F, and roast uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.

Notes

SERVING:
The basic recipe makes 4 portions.
SERVING: Pork chops pair well with potato puree or chunky mashed potatoes, allowing you to drizzle some extra gravy over them.
When preparing the chops, don't remove the fat. You can cut it off right before serving if you prefer, but leaving it on adds extra flavor and helps keep the meat from drying out.
Flour or starch isn't necessary to thicken this homemade pan gravy, making it perfect for gluten-free diets to enjoy as well.
