This recipe might not look like much, but wait until you try it! If you can,try to use the fresh thyme in place of dryed, it really makes a difference in taste! If you want you can use chardonnay in place of the white wine, I use chardonnay and it worked out quite well. This recipe can be doubled if desired. Serve this with potato pancakes for a great meal! Ingredients:
4 -6 tablespoons butter |
4 pork chops (bone in or boneless) |
salt and pepper |
garlic powder |
2/3 cup dry white wine |
1 1/4 cups cranberry sauce (can use a little more) |
1/4 cup shallot, chopped |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme (or 1-2 teaspoons dryed thyme, rubbed between fingers to release the flavor) |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
2. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder, and saute until browned and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes on each side).
3. Transfer the chops to a plate.
4. Add in wine to the same skillet; bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits in the bottom of the pan.
5. Stir in cranberry sauce, shallots and fresh thyme; reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally about 3-4 minutes).
6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
7. Return pork and any of the juices from the plate into the skillet; cook until heated through (about 1 minute).
8. Transfer the chops to a plate.
9. Spoon the sauce over the pork.
