Gluten Free Pork Chops with Cream Gravy

Sometimes we forget simple, classic pairings because a more common version has become conventional.  I'm all for the simple, traditional classics over ersatz versions of conventional foods.  When we think of cream gravy, we usually think of a recipe that includes gluten.  The knee jerk reaction is to substitute with gluten free products and tweak and twist and contort the recipe, trying all sorts of barely edible variations.  There is an easier way.  We can look to similar recipes that are naturally gluten free.  They aren't fake or put upon; they can satisfy the desire without the frustration.  Thus, the recipe I have today is pork chops in cream.  It's more simple that cream gravy.  It does mean that there won't be ample sauce.  However, the sauce is so rich and delightful, there isn't a need to smother the pork chop.  It's barely a recipe it's so simple.  It's just wonderful.

Pork chops
salt and pepper
two tablespoons butter
whipping cream or full cream

Saute the pork chops until just cooked through.  Season with salt and pepper.  Turn off the heat, and add butter.  Allow the pan too cool slightly.  Remove the pork chops to a plate.  Deglaze the pan with a tablespoon or two of cream.  The amount of cream depends on the size of the pan and the heat of the pan.  A large, hot pan will bubble it away quickly.  You want the cream to bubble just a bit and thicken slightly, pourable but not too thin.  Pour the cream and butter over the pork chop and serve.
