Low FODMAP Pork Chops with Pan Gravy

Juicy bone-in pork chops smothered in a savory pan gravy — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort it takes to pull off. The chops get a quick sear in garlic-infused oil until deeply golden, then rest while you build a silky gravy right in the same pan using the flavorful drippings. Garlic-infused oil delivers that rich, aromatic depth without any of the fructan load that comes from whole garlic or onion, and the scallion greens add a mild, fresh bite that keeps the flavor bright. Gluten-free flour thickens the gravy beautifully, so you get that classic, spoon-coating consistency without any wheat in sight. A touch of Dijon mustard and fresh thyme round everything out, making the sauce taste like something that simmered for hours. This recipe serves four, so it's just as at home on a Sunday table as it is on a busy Tuesday night. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and you've got a plate that looks as good as it tastes.
