BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
• Sprinkle the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper. Brown the chops on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total. If the skillet is not oven safe, arrange the pork chops in a baking dish that is large enough to hold the chops in one layer. Cover with sliced onion.
• In a bowl combine the thyme and rosemary with wine and chicken broth; pour over pork chops.
• Cover the pan with a lid or cover the baking dish tightly with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until tender and fully cooked. The minimum safe temperature for pork is 145 F.
• Remove the pork and onions to a serving platter, and keep warm.
• Use a gravy separator to remove the excess fat from the liquids. Strain the liquids into a saucepan or back into the skillet, and place the pan over medium-high heat. Bring the juices to a boil and boil for 1 minute to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
• In a small cup or bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir in the juices and continue cooking until thickened. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of butter and stir until melted.
• Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and onions.

PORK CHOPS WITH WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
• Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
• Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
• Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
• Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
• Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

MODENESE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook chops in butter, turning once to brown evenly.
• Pour in wine, and season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, or until chops are tender. Transfer pork chops to serving plates, and spoon sauce over the meat.

PORK CHOPS BRAISED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Trim all visible fat from chops. Combine first 5 ingredients and press into both sides of the pork chops.
• Melt margarine with olive oil in a skillet over moderate heat. Brown chops for 2 or 3 minutes on each side. When chops are golden brown, remove from the pan.
• Pour off all but a thin film of fat from the pan and add 1/2 cup of the wine and bring to a boil. Replace pork chops in the pan and cover reducing heat to the barest of simmers. Baste chops occasionally with pan juices and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender.
• Transfer pork chops to a heated serving platter and keep warm. Pour remaining wine into pan and boil briskly scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan until sauce has reduced to a few tablespoons of syrupy glaze. Remove pan from heat and stir in parsley.
• Pour sauce over the pork chops and serve.

PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS IN WHITE WINE SAUCE

• Sear the pork chops three at a time, cooking about five minutes on the first side, and three to four minutes on the other side.
• Transfer the seared pork chops to a plate or bowl while you sear the others.
• After you are done searing, and have removed all of the pork chops to a plate, add the onions and garlic to the pan, and cook for three minutes.
• Add the white wine, and reduce by half. Add the water, and pork chops, and lower the heat to low, and cover the pan.
