Seasoned pork chops are quickly sauteed and then simmered in a rich and zesty blend of sherry, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and bay leaf - with a good dose of sour cream to add a luscious tartness.
INGREDIENTS (for 3 servings):
- 4 pork chops
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 bay leaf
PREPARATION:
Season pork chops with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge seasoned chops in flour. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown seasoned chops in oil (covering skillet with lid if desired). Pour off fat.
In a medium bowl combine the sour cream, sherry, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and bay leaf. Mix together and pour mixture over chops in skillet. Cover and let simmer gently over low heat for about 1 hour, or until chops are tender and cooked through (internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F/70 degrees C).
