Season pork chops with salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary, rubbing it into the meat on both sides.

In a pan, heat plenty of canola oil and brown the pork chops, starting with the fat side down for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest.

In the same pan, add chopped onions and chopped mushrooms with a big piece of butter, allowing the water to evaporate and browning the vegetables.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the pan with the vegetables to create a sauce.

Add garlic just before the flour, browning it in the pan.

Slowly mix in milk a little at a time to thicken the sauce.

Add half a cube of bouillon and a splash of soy sauce for depth of flavor.

Add a splash of lime juice and grated garlic to the sauce.

Incorporate full fat cream to make the sauce creamier and adjust the liquid consistency to your preference.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Return the pork chops to the pan to heat them up and infuse their flavor into the sauce.

Serve the pork chops with boiled potatoes and steamed asparagus on the side.
