How to prepare pork chops in onion sauce?

  1. Preparing the chops: Pound the meat into thin slices, season with salt and pepper, and coat each slice with beaten egg and breadcrumbs.
  2. Frying: Heat oil in a pan and fry the chops until golden on both sides. They don't need to be fully cooked, as they will continue to cook in the sauce.
  3. Preparing the onion sauce: In the same pan where the chops were fried, sauté sliced onions. When they become translucent, add water and mustard, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, you can thicken the sauce with a bit of flour.
  4. Braising the chops: Place the sautéed chops in the sauce, cover the pan, and braise on low heat for about an hour. If needed, add a bit of water to prevent the meat from burning and to keep it juicy.
  5. Serving: Serve the ready pork chops in onion sauce with favourite sides, such as potatoes, groats, or bread.
