PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE
Here's my favorite recipe in Toni Tipton-Martin's excellent and invaluable "Jubilee: Recipes From Two Centuries of African American Cooking" (2019). It's a remix of one that the chef Nathaniel Burton collected into his 1978 opus, "Creole Feast: Fifteen Master Chefs of New Orleans Reveal Their Secrets," and one that Tipton-Martin glossed-up with lemon zest, juice and extra butter, a technique she learned from the restaurateur B. Smith's 2009 collection of recipes, "B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style." It's a dish of smothered pork chops, essentially, made into something glorious and elegant. "The food history of Blacks in America has been a story of the food of survival," she told me in an interview. "We need to start celebrating the food they made at work."

Steps:
- Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
- Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.

Tips:
- To ensure your pork chops are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check for doneness by making a small cut into the center of the pork chop. The meat should be cooked through and no longer pink.
- To add more flavor to your pork chops, you can marinate them in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- You can also add vegetables to your pressure cooker along with the pork chops, such as potatoes, carrots, or green beans. This will create a complete and flavorful meal in one pot.
- If you are using a thicker cut of pork chop, you may need to increase the cooking time by a few minutes.
Conclusion:
Lemon pork chops cooked in a pressure cooker are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the lemon sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
