Onion-Herbed Pork Chops With Parmesan

Submitted by Hot Garlic

"This is one of my favorite recipes for pork. I was inpired for the method by an article in a cooking magazine and then made it my own. The flavors are great and it really a fairly easy dish to make. Switch around the herbs and flavors, I always try something new and switch between fresh and dried herbs. I know 2 whole onions sounds like a lot for 4 servings, but they cook down and are the carrier of all of the flavor, after trying it you will probably increase it to 3! Use any kind of breadcrumbs you like, I love to make my own from whole-wheat bread and it tastes great. I truly believe it is a meal your family or friends will love to eat!"

We thawed 2 porkchops tonight for this recipe. I cut the onion into large rings (I'm not a huge fan of onions- so I knew it would be easy to pick off the rings, while still flavoring the meat.) I used dried herbs (sorry, it's all I had on hand), but I did use home made bread crumbs and freshly grated parmesan cheese. This is a fabulous recipe!! I will be making it again. Thanks for sharing Nat!!
