      Title: Pork Chops In Lemon-Caper Sauce
 Categories: Pork, Citrus, Vegetables, Wine
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      4    Bone-in pork chops
           - (8 oz ea)
           Salt & fresh cracked pepper
    1/2 ts Dried thyme leaves
      2 tb Olive oil
      4 tb Unsalted butter
      1 sm Shallot; minced
      2 cl Garlic; minced (1 ts)
      2 ts All-purpose flour
      1 c  Dry white wine
  1 1/2 c  Chicken stock
      2 tb Drained capers
      2 tb Fresh parsley; minced, more
           - for garnish
      1 ts Lemon zest; fresh grated,
           - plus:
      2 tb Lemon juice
           Hot sauce (optional)
 
  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 tb of butter in it over
  medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and saute
  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 tb 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.
