Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 8 hours, 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 large (about 7 oz. each) pork chops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 lb. brown mushrooms, sliced
1/4 lb. shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, caps quartered
1 (5” wide) portobello mushroom, cut into 1/2” cubes
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage
1/4 cup flour
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
Fresh sage sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Method:
Heat oil in a skillet set over medium-high. Season chops with salt and pepper. Brown well and set in your slow cooker. Add mushrooms and onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in the garlic, flour and sage; slowly mix in stock. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and then pour over the pork. Cook on the low setting 8 hours. Plate the chops, top with sauce, garnish, if desired, and serve.

Note: This recipe is designed for an oval-shaped slow cooker with a 5 litre or more capacity.

What to serve alongside:
Serve the pork with a couple of tasty side dishes created from recipes in our website collection, such as Buttermilk-Mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes, and Green Beans with Walnuts and Blue Cheese.

Options:
Instead of pork, use veal chops in this recipe. If you like chicken, use four boneless, skinless chicken breasts in place of the pork. To simplify things, only use one type of mushroom in this recipe, such as white or brown mushrooms. As an alternative to fresh sage, try fresh rosemary or thyme.
