Pork Chops and Golden Onions
Region: Italy
Category: Pork
Season: Any
Difficulty: Easy and Quick

This recipe calls for thinly sliced pork chops to be cooked over high heat for a delicious meal in almost seconds.  Pork can be quite lean these days, making it an ideal family preparation.  Although this recipe is simple, the onions and wine, cooked until they are golden and spread over the golden brown pork chops, really add a lot of flavor.
