Pork Chops with Sour Cream Dill Sauce & Spaetzle

WEDNESDAY
Pork Chops with Sour Cream Dill Sauce


3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 large sirloin pork chops
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons paprika
1 small garlic clove, crushed
3/4 cup, or more canned low salt chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill

Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Place 1/3 cup flour in shallow bowl. Coat pork chops with flour, shaking off excess. Add to skillet and cook until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to platter. Drain all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet.

Add onion to skillet and saute until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add paprika and crushed garlic clove and stir 30 seconds. Mix in 3/4 cup chicken broth, marjoram and caraway seeds. Simmer 3 minutes. Return pork chops to skillet.

Cover and simmer until pork chops are almost cooked through, adding more chicken broth by tablespoonfuls if liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low.

Whisk 1 cup sour cream, dill and remaining 1 tablespoon flour in small bowl to blend. Add to skillet and stir until pork chops are tender and sauce thickens, about 5 minutes, do not boil. Transfer pork chops to platter. Spoon sauce over and serve.

4 Servings.

Serve with spaetzle and brussel sprouts
