Onion And Garlic Smothered Pork Chops - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 center-cut pork chops, 1/2 inch thick (any cut will do)

3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Heat the olive oil in pan on top of stove over medium heat until very hot.
Sear pork chops on both sides; remove from pan.
Reduce heat and saute onion and garlic until soft.
Return pork chops to pan, placing them on top of onions and garlic.
Add a little water and cover pan tightly with lid.
Let simmer over medium heat until pork chops are well done, adding a little water as necessary to keep from burning.
