Trim the skin off the pork chops still leaving a thin layer of fat and season with salt, pepper and paprika.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan. Once hot and bubbling, sear chops for 6 minutes on one side, 2 minutes on the other side and then remove the chops from the heat and allow to rest while you make the sauce

Add red onion to pan, pour in half a cup of the vegetable stock and stir to deglaze the pan. Add mushrooms and stir to combine with the stock and onions. Stir in the crushed garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the rest of the vegetable stock and the cream. Bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thickened up. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
