Peel the onions. Finely dice the onions and cucumber. Wash and chop the parsley. Wash the chops and pat dry. Heat oil in a large pan. Brown the chops vigorously on each side. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and place in a large ovenproof dish (with a lid) or in a roasting pan. Brown the minced meat in the hot frying fat until crumbly. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Stir in the cucumbers and parsley. Deglaze with 1/8 l water and cream, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 1 minute. Season with mustard, salt, and pepper. Spread the minced cream over the chops. Cover and braise in a preheated oven at 175°C for about 1 3/4 hours. Cook uncovered for the last 10-15 minutes.
