Herbed Pork Chops With Vermouth

From one of my old recipe cards. I have no idea where I copied it from!

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground sage
• 1  garlic clove, chopped
•  salt
•  fresh ground black pepper
• 4  pork loin chops, 1-inch thick
• 3  tablespoons olive oil
• 3⁄4 cup water
• 3⁄4 cup dry vermouth

Directions

1. Mix rosemary, sage, garlic, salt and pepper together and rub this into the pork chops.
2. In a frying pan, heat the oil and saute the chops for 5 minutes, turning once. Add the water and cover.
3. Lower the heat and simmer until all the water has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
4. Romove the cover and brown the chops on both sides.
5. Add the vermouth and cook until most of it has evaporated and the chops are tender, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
