Looks wonderful!! Thanks for all the insightful posts!! Keep em coming!  

@Ryan thanks just checked you out you are rocking it dude :) 

I thought I'd commented on this picture before, verbally drooling all over it, but I guess I only licked the screen while stroking the keyboard longingly, and forgot to hit "post."  

looks amazing!! what's your recipe for the gravy?? 

I got the recipe on line - it has something to do with some kind of pot I'm assuming a specialized kitchen item that I don't own, so I just fried the pork chops all the way through in the coconut oil and sautéed the onions and mushroom and then just follow the rest of the recipe to make the grave and it was amazing, little bit of zing to it I guess you could take out the cayenne pepper, but I like it;) The Preparation ◾4 (6-ounce) boneless pork loin chops ◾1 tablespoon paprika ◾1 teaspoon garlic powder ◾1 teaspoon onion powder ◾1 teaspoon black pepper ◾1 teaspoon salt ◾¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper ◾2 tablespoons coconut oil ◾½ medium onion, sliced ◾6 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms ◾1 tablespoon butter ◾½ cup heavy whippingcream ◾¼ – ½ teaspoon xanthan gum ◾1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley The Execution 1. Mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl. Rinse the pork chops and pat dry. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture, rubbing the seasoning into the meat. Reserve the remaining spices. Instant Pot Smothered Pork Chops 2. Heat the coconut oil in the bowl of the Instant Pot on the Saute setting. Brown the pork chops in the hot coconut oil, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a plate and turn off the Instant Pot. Instant Pot Smothered Pork Chops 3. Add the sliced onions to pot base and then the mushrooms. Top with the browned pork chops. Add the lid to Instant Pot, making sure the vent is sealed. Cook on the Manual High setting for 25 minutes. Once cooked the pressure can be released naturally or manually. Remove the pot lid and place just the pork chops on a serving plate. 4. Press the Saute setting again and whisk the remaining spice mixture, butter, and heavy cream into the hot liquid. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum into the liquid and whisk in immediately. Let the gravy simmer for 3-5 minutes until the butter is melted and the sauce starts to thicken. Turn off the Pot. Start with ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum and add additional until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. More may be needed depending on how much juice the meat and vegetables release during cooking. Also note the gravy will continue to thicken as it cools. 5. Top the pork chops with the onion and mushroom gravy. Sprinkle with parsley and serve. This makes a total of 4 servings of Instant Pot Smothered Pork Chops.
