This straightforward dinner requires just five minutes of active preparation. Pork loin chops are seasoned and browned before simmering with onion strips in a covered skillet. The slow cooking process tenderises the meat and allows the onions to become soft and sweetly caramelised. It's a classic American dish that pairs wonderfully with simple parsley potatoes for a comforting meal. The entire process takes about 45 minutes from start to finish.
