     Title: Pork Chops In Lemon-Caper Sauce
Categories: Pork, Citrus, Vegetables, Wine
     Yield: 4 servings

     4    (8 oz ea) bone-in pork
          - chops
          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 (about 1
          - teaspoon)
     2 ts All-purpose flour
     1 c  Dry white wine
 1 1/2 c  Chicken stock
     2 tb Drained capers
     2 tb Minced fresh parsley; more
          - for garnish
     1 ts Fresh grated lemon zest
          +=PLUS=+
     2 tb Lemon juice
          Hot sauce (opt)

 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 tablespoons 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 tablespoons 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.
