Pork Chops Hongroise

KimmieCat's Note:

I got this recipe from a friend at work, it was in a collection of recipes of her mom's. It is just fabulous. I've made it with both chicken broth and white wine and didn't really notice a difference. Serve with some bread to wipe up the extra sauce.

These chops were tender and tasty!! I followed the clear and easy steps in the recipe but used 1/4 c whipping cream mixed with the sour cream. That makes a fool-proof curdle-free gravy. Served with Parslied Egg Noodles and Spiced Carrots fior a very satisfying meal. Thanks for posting KimmieCat. Made for PAC Spring 2010.

Very Good! The sauce (gravy) is wonderful and tasty! Next time I think I will need to simmer the chops a little longer for tenderness. The onions really add flavor to this recipe. I used only 1/2 cup of the sour cream so as not to dilute the flavor of the other juices. Enjoyed these wonderful chops for dinner last night. Sprinkle some paprika on top. Prepared as a participant in the French Country Spice of the Month (Paprika) for March 2010.
