Pork Chops à la Vigneronne
-
Prep. & cooking time: 1 hr. Ingredients (for 4):
“A
la vigneronne” is the term given to dishes which include grapes or
wine or autumn meals.
4 pork chops.
1 liter red wine.
1/2 cup Armagnac (brandy).
2 shallots.
3 tablespoons groundnut oil.
20 cl double cream (or crème fraîche).
1 bouquet garni.
Salt, peppercorns.
-
Peel and chop the shallots. Heat the wine in a saucepan with the shallots,
bouquet garni, and 15
peppercorns. Reduce the wine to half its original amount. Remove the bouquet
garni, and
strain the wine.
Heat the oil
in a frying pan and fry the pork chops for 5 minutes on each side over a strong
heat.
Season, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes over a low heat to prevent them becoming
tough.
Arrange the pork chops on a
serving dish and keep them warm. Deglaze the cooking juices with
the Armagnac, then add the wine and stir.
Check seasoning and add
the cream to the sauce. Stir well and pour over the pork chops. Serve
very hot.
