quick and easy meals for 1 or 2

Quick marinated pork chops, onions and wine sauce

2-4 sorta thick pork chops
some good olive oil
about 2 tbsp. butter
red wine
1 whole orange (or lemon or lime)
half  of a med sized onion or about 8-10 pearl onions
some rosemary fresh is great but dried will work in a pinch
salt and pepper
flour for dredging

Put the pork chops in a big bowl. Put in about 2 swirls off olive oil. 2 good splashes of red wine. cut the orange (or lemon or lime) in half and squeeze the juice in with the pork chops. Put in the skins as well. Mix it all up so all the chops get coated. Slice up the onion in sorta wide slices or if pearls just cut off the ends and peel them. Heat up a frying pan big enough to handle the chops with a couple of swirls of olive oil. The thicker the chops slightly more oil is needed. Coat the chops with some salt and pepper.Dredge them in some flour. Cook them in the pan just turning once. Put the onions in with the chops when you turn the m over. When the chops are done remove them and put on a plate on the back of the stove to keep warm. Add the butter and rosemary (a couple of sprigs of fresh or about a tbsp. of dried)  Add the wine and kinda scape the bottom  the pan with whatever you used to turn the chop to "deglaze" it. When the wine is reduced some and thickened pour it all over the chops and serve.

I usually fry some potatoes while I'm doing all this and get a salad ready in between turns and stuff.

SERVE IT UP!! with some good crusty bread and the rest of that red wine and maybe another bottle!!
