Lalu's Whole30 Smothered Pork Chops

Lalu's Whole30 Smothered Pork Chops

Ingredients:

4 pork chops (or enough for your family)
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
2 cups sliced carrots
1/2 cup almond flour
4 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil (I used 50/50 of each)
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut milk
spices to taste: I used salt, pepper, garlic, basil, thyme (from my garden), rosemary (also from the garden), paprika, and a tiny bit of turmeric

How to Make:

Heat the oil and some garlic in a large pan over medium heat.
Beat the egg with about a teaspoon of water until smooth.
Put the almond flour on a plate and add a mix of the spices.
Rinse and dry each pork chop.
Dip each chop into the egg mixture and then in the almond flour.
Put each pork chop into the pre-heated pan with the oil and cook about 5 minutes per side (depending on thickness of chop) until starting to brown.
Remove the pork chops from the pan.
Add more garlic, onions, and carrots to pan and sprinkle with spices.
Stir until caramelized and browned.
Return the pork chops to the pan. Spread the onions on top of and between the pork chops.
Add the coconut milk and any additional spices and cook over low/medium heat until the gravy starts to thicken and the chops are tender and at the desired doneness.

Enjoy and let me know how it comes out!
