Recipe - Mustard Pork Chop In Foil

Stephen Ceideburg
One fourth teaspoon Vegetable or olive oil
1 Thick slice onion
5 ounce Boneless pork chop
1 teaspoon Prepared mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprig of rosemary or
One fourth teaspoon Dried rosemary, optional

Hands on time: 5 minutes. Baking time: 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Tear heavyduty foil to make a 12inch square; smear foil with oil. Place
onion slice on half of foil. Trim fat from chop, spread both sides with
mustard, place on onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper, top with rosemary
if desired. Close foil to form triangle, roll edges and crimp firmly to
seal, turning sealed edges upward. (A surprising amount of juices are
generated during cooking.) Place in baking pan (lest those juices leak) and
bake 20 to 30 minutes, depending on thickness of chop, or until chop is no
longer pink in center.

Transfer packet to dinner plate, open and turn chop with onion and juices
onto plate. Serve, if desired, with potato or sweet potato baked in same
oven.
