Gravy:
To pan drippings, add brown gravy mix. I use one that you mix 1:4 ratio. 1 cup of mix and 4 cups of liquid. And I like to make a wonderful gravy sauce, so instead of all water, I use half in fruit juice. Usually, I use apple juice for pork, but I happened to have mango and this made a lovely sauce. So, on the stovetop bring the gravy mixture to a simmer while whisking in the 2 cups of water and 2 cups of juice.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and I also used a tsp of cardamom.
You will love this sauce.
< Plating:
Ladle gravy on bottom of plate, top with mashed potatoes and then, the piece of pork chop.
Perfection! Awesome bite!
