List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 pork rib chops, approximately 1/2-inch thick
1 large yellow or sweet onion, cut into large wedges
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection™ Chipotle Chile Pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced


Recipe



Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes

Makes 4 servings

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Lightly brown pork chops on each side. Transfer chops to a roasting pan or casserole dish just large enough to hold chops in a single layer.

Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet. Add onions, chipotle chile pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté until onions are lightly cooked. Distribute onions evenly over the pork chops. Set skillet aside for the sauce. Bake pork chops in a preheated 350ºF oven 20 minutes, or to an internal temperature of 160º F.


Add cream to the skillet; slowly bring to a boil while scraping the pan to release the caramelized pan juices. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cilantro. When cream comes to a boil, immediately reduce the heat to as low as possible and keep warm.


Remove pork chops from the oven. Pour warm cream sauce over pork.
