Jo Mama’s Rosemary Pork Chops
Ingredients:
- 2 pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 can cream of celery soup
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Heat olive oil in a large frying pan with a lid or Dutch oven over medium heat. |
| 2 | Add the pork chops to the pan and brown them until they are nearly cooked through, turning as needed to ensure even browning. This process should take about 5-7 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate. |
| 3 | In the same pan, add the diced onions and cook them until they are softened and golden brown, which should take approximately 5 minutes. |
| 4 | Next, add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped celery, cream of celery soup, water, and beef bouillon cube to the pan. Stir everything together until well combined. |
| 5 | Return the browned pork chops to the pan, nestling them into the vegetable mixture. Make sure to coat the pork chops with the soup mixture for maximum flavor. |
| 6 | Now, it’s time to infuse the dish with the aromatic essence of fresh rosemary. Gently tuck the rosemary sprig into the liquid, allowing its fragrant oils to permeate the entire dish. |
| 7 | Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with the lid. Allow the dish to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the pork chops are cooked through. |
| 8 | Once the pork chops and vegetables are tender, carefully remove the rosemary sprig from the pan. Its leaves will have softened and melded into the sauce, imparting a subtle yet distinctive flavor. |
| 9 | Serve the Rosemary Pork Chops hot, garnished with any remaining fresh rosemary leaves for an extra burst of herbal goodness. Enjoy the hearty flavors and comforting aromas with your loved ones! |
