THYME & GARLIC PORK CHOPS WITH EGG NOODLES IN SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place a large pot of salted water onto boil. Heat the vegetable oil in a large straight sided skillet over medium high heat. Rub the pork chops on both sides with the cut side of the halved garlic. Then season both sides with salt and pepper and sprinkle with 1 tsp thyme. You can use more if you like the flavor. Place the pork chops in the skillet and allow them to brown. About 5 minutes on each side - more or less depending on your cook top. When they're golden brown and firm to the touch you know you're done. Remove the pork chops and place them on a plate to rest. Add the onions to the skillet and let saute for a few minutes then add the garlic and remaining thyme and cook until the onions are translucent. Dissolve the bullion cube in the boiling water. Combine the flour and the sour cream. Add the egg noodles to the boiling water. Add the beef bullion water to the skillet. Make sure you scrape up all the yummy bits! Add the sour cream to the skillet and combine well. Season the sauce with salt & pepper to taste. Drain the noodles and toss them with the sauce. Serve!

GARLIC-THYME PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place pork chops on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Arrange onions around pork chops. Set pan in oven and adjust oven rack so that top of meat is 4 to 5 inches from broiler element. Remove pan and chops. Preheat broiler. Return pan to the broiler and broil, without turning, for 9 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for glaze, in a medium saucepan bring apple juice or vermouth to boiling; boil uncovered on high for 5 to 6 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup.
• Meanwhile, combine cornstarch with cold water; stir into apple juice or vermouth. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in oil, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon of the dried thyme, the pepper, and salt. Remove 2 tablespoons of the glaze and set aside. Turn pork; broil 9 to 13 minutes more or until juices run clear. Using a pastry brush, coat pork chops and onions with glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• Remove onions to a small serving bowl. Remove pork chops to serving platter or dish. Stir the reserved glaze and the remaining thyme into onions. Pass with pork chops. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
