CARAMELIZED ONION SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Brine the chops: Combine the water, 1/4 cup kosher salt , and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. When the salt and sugar are dissolved, take the saucepan off the heat and add the rosemary sprig and iced water. Keep stirring until the brine is completely cooled down.
• Put the pork chops in a large zip-top plastic bag, and pour in the brine. Squeeze the air out of the plastic bag and seal tightly. Lay the bag in a baking dish (in case there's any leakage) and refrigerate 4 hours and up to 8 hours. (Alternatively, arrange the pork chops in a baking dish in a single layer, pour the brine over the chops and cover with plastic wrap. Halfway through the brining time, turn the chops over.)
• One hour before cooking, take the pork chops out of the refrigerator, drain and discard the brine and rosemary sprig. Pat the pork chops dry and cover loosely with paper towels.
• Make the caramelized onions: Melt the butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, about 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and several good grinds of fresh pepper. Cover for 10 minutes.
• Remove the cover and stir the onions. Sauté for another 15 or 20 minutes, stirring the onions occasionally and watching that they don't burn. When the onions have caramelized to your liking, take the pan off the heat.
• Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly season the pork chops with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, then sprinkle the minced rosemary over both sides of all the chops, pressing down lightly to adhere the rosemary to the pork.
• Heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides, 2 minutes per side. Cover the pork chops with the caramelized onions, then put the skillet into the oven.
• Bake the chops 15 minutes until their internal temperature reaches 138 F on an instant-read thermometer . Remove the skillet from the oven, and let the chops rest 5 minutes before serving.

Then stir it and leave it again, without stirring, for around 30 seconds to get more caramelisation. Repeat twice more until caramelised to your taste.
• Serve over rice or vermicelli noodles, garnished with sliced scallions/shallots. For a low carb, low cal option, try Cauliflower Rice! I like to have chunks of plain cucumber and carrots on the side which is a classic way of making Vietnamese bowls.
