Pork Chops Sauterne
This classic recipe features thick pork chops seared until golden, then slowly braised in a sweet and savory sauce of Sauterne wine. A simple topping of mustard, brown sugar, and a lemon slice creates a flavorful glaze as it cooks. The result is incredibly tender pork with a balanced, elegant pan sauce.
