Pork chops with mustard sauce and capers

  

This is an insanely simple dinner. The mustard sauce, shallot and capers really make a boring, old pork chop something special.

Rating: Truly 1/2 assed

Here's what you need and how you do it

2-4 pork chops (we used boneless)

Olive Oil

1 shallot, chopped

2 Tablespoons dijon mustard

1/3 cup cream, half-and-half or soy creamer

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

2 Tablespoons capers

Salt and pepper to taste

3 Tablespoons flour mixed with a little water

Pan fry pork chops in olive oil. In separate skillet, heat shallot in olive oil until softened. Add mustard, cream, capers, lemon juice, salt, pepper and flour mixture (enough so desired thickness is achieved). Cook until heated through.

Spoon sauce over pork chops. Consider serving with garlic mashed potatoes and a salad.

how strong is the mustard flavor? I love capers, but would never use mustard as a plain old condiment. Any other sauce instead?

You could try mayo. But the cream dilutes the mustard so that it tastes delightful. Plus, it's dijon, so it's not like you're squirting French's on your pork chop.
