pork chops and gravy

[uranus]

this is as very nice and easy meal and goes great with mashed or roasted potatoes

you will need:
pork chops, bone in. regular size, not thin cut, and not really thick
one beer
fennel seeds
one onion, sliced
cayenne pepper
butter
flour

season the chops with salt and brown them on high heat in butter, or butter and olive oil (the oil keeps the butter from burning)

when brown, remove from the pan and add the onion and a good pinch of fennel seeds. allow the onion to just soften then add about two tablespoons of flour

lower the heat and cook until the flour is golden brown which only takes a few minutes

add the cayenne to your taste
add the beer, stir, and bring it up to a boil
put the chops back in - if the chops aren't covered in liquid, add water just to cover
reduce heat to low-medium low, and simmer for about 30 min

then your ready to go
