Braised Pork Chops


 6 eight-ounce loin pork chops, cut     1 c finely chopped onions 
   about 1 inch thick                   1 tsp finely chopped garlic
 1 T salt                               2 c water 
 Freshly ground black pepper            2 T distilled white vinegar
 ¼ c vegetable oil                      
                        ------------------------------  
Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with the salt and a liberal grinding of pepper.

In a heavy 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Add the pork chops and, turning them occasionally with a spatula, fry the chops for about 15 minutes, or until they are richly and evenly browned. Stir in the onions and garlic, add the water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover tightly and simmer for about 30 minutes, turning the chops over 2 or 3 times.

Arrange the pork chops attractively on a heated platter. Then stir the vinegar into the cooking liquid, taste for seasoning and pour the sauce over the chops. Serve at once. Serves 6.
