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.
PORK CHOPS WITH CAPER AND MUSTARD PAN SAUCE
Steps:
- Season the chops with salt and pepper and heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet on medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the butter and when it foams, add the chops and sear until golden brown. Turn and sear the other side until golden, then remove the chops to a heat-prooof dish and place in a 375 degree oven to finish cooking, about 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops. While the chops are in the oven, add the shallot to the skillet and cook on medium heat about 1 minute, until softened. Pour in the stock and wine and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen the browned bits. Boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Stir in the mustard and capers, whisking to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the remaining butter. Pour sauce over chops and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The USDA recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have capers, you can substitute cornichons or chopped pickles.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the pan and cook until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This recipe for pork chops with mustard and caper pan sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home.
