What sides should I pair with the pork chops?

You can never go wrong with pairing cornbread with any pork dish! Or a nice, toasted piece of French baguette or a slice of artisan bread is also a great choice. Add a green vegetable like baked asparagus or broccoli to tie your meal together for a hearty and balanced plate. Don’t forget the mashed potatoes or rice!

I recommend pairing this smothered pork chops dish with a boldly flavored wine, like a pinot noir. While pork is a mild protein, the rich and creamy onion gravy calls for a big, bold wine to refresh your palate.
