Number Of Ingredients 15

4 center-cut loin chops, 2 pounds
1 Tbsp corn oil
1/4 c carrots, chopped
1/4 c celery, chopped
1/2 c onions, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp garlic clove, minced
1/4 tsp thyme
1 bay leaf
3 parsley sprigs
1/4 c white wine, dry
3/4 c chicken broth
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 c sour cream
1/4 c capers, drained

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer.
  • 2. Add the chops and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Scatter the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and parsley around the chops.
  • 4. Cover and cook 10 minutes.
  • 5. Blend the wine, chicken broth and tomato paste and add to the skillet.
  • 6. Cover closely and cook about 25 minutes longer, turning the chops once.
  • 7. Remove the chops and keep hot. Add the mustard and sour cream to the skillet and stir.
  • 8. Bring just to a boil, but do not boil or the sour cream will curdle.
  • 9. Put the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing down with a wooden spoon to extract the liquid flavorings from the vegetables.
  • 10. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and add the capers.
  • 11. Reheat gently without boiling.
  • 12. Spoon the sauce over the chops.
