Pork Chops Dijon
Ingredients:
2-4 loin pork chops (1-1 1/4 lbs, total)
2 Tbsp cooking oil, i.e. canola
3 Tbsp dijon-style (creamy) mustard
2 Tbsp Italian or Ceasar salad dressing
1 small onion, sliced thin
Directions:
Slice the onion and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mustard and the dressing, mix well and set aside.
Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium heat, moving the pan to coat the bottom with the oil. Place a tiny piece of onion in it, when the onion piece starts to sizzle, it’s ready.
When the oil is hot, cook the onions until they are soft, but not translucent. Remove the onions and set aside.
Turn the heat up to high and carefully place the pork chops into the pan. Brown them on all sides.
When the chops are brown, turn the heat down to medium-low and cover the meat with the onions and mustard-mixture. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads 155˚ (F)
When the thermometer reads 155˚, remove from heat and let stand, covered, for five minutes. This is for resting and is important for keeping the juices in.

I found this recipe under the name “Eowyn’s Pork Chops Dijon” at a Lord of the Rings fan-site, The Council of Elrond.
