This was such an inviting Sunday meal on a dreary fall evening. I scaled this down to 2 servings and wish I'd made the full amount of sauce (especially the onions as they were quite good). Also switched the butter for half the amount of olive oil. Loved the thyme and sage combination and thought the flavor profiles were just right. For me, the white wine was a little to strong, in my case a lovely Cote de Rhone, and next time I'd probably do some combination of wine and broth. Like FlemishMinx, I added the onions to the sauce which allowed themto marry into the dish really well.

These were good chops. The thyme and sage are a delicious combination but very strong. They pair nicely with the sweet onions and white wine. The 30 minutes were too long a cooking time for my chops, they were done in about 15.

Very good and especially my husband loved the sauce. I sauteed the onion just until golden but not brown (recipe doesn't specify) and since I didn't have the oven on had no way to keep them warm for the remaining half hour; I added them back in at step 8 and they were deliciously sweet and al dente. DH has instructed me this goes in the permanent file :) Thanks for posting ! Note to any new cooks: always use a DRINKABLE wine when cooking, it definitely affects your results.
