Serves 4 with leftovers for lunch! From MaryAlice LaForest and my cooking school experience at the Stock Pot in 1975. It was great fun to cook there and we had some wonderful meals.

Ingredients
  • 8 to 10 rib pork chops, not too thick
  • 1 pint of Robert Sauce-posted
  • 2 ounces of minced gherkins
  • melted butter
  • panko bread crumbs

Directions
  1. Season the chops with salt and pepper.
  2. Dip them in the melted butter and press the bread crumbs into the pork chops. Press in well.
  3. Saute them gently in melted butter, basting them from time to time.
  4. Allow about 8 to 9 minutes per side.
  5. Don't dry them out or over cook.
  6. While the chops are cooking over medium low heat, gently heat the prepared sauce Robert in a sauce pan and add the gherkins to the sauce to make it a charcutiere sauce.
  7. Arrange chops on a warm serving platter and nap them with the charcutiere sauce.
  8. Garnish with minced parsley.
  9. Potatoes are a must with this dish, either roasted tiny new potatoes or a mashed potato prep drizzled with roasted garlic oil.
  10. Robert Sauce:
  11. 1 large onion, finely minced
  12. 1 tbsp of butter
  13. 1/3 pint of white wine
  14. 1 pint of half glaze (demi-glace quick method)-posted
  15. 1 tsp of dry mustard - fresh can - not something that has been sitting in the cupboard for years
  16. 1 generous pinch of powdered sugar
  17. 1 tsp of beef base - purchased
  18. Melt butter.
  19. Add minced onion and saute gently, do not let it brown.
  20. Add the white wine and reduce by 1/3, add the half glaze and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
  21. Add the beef base, dry mustard and sugar.
  22. If this sauce has to wait to be used, it should be kept warm in a double boiler, it must not boil again. It is best suited for grilled or roasted pork.
  23. NOTE: Robert Sauce becomes a Charcutiere Sauce with the addition of 2 ounces of julienne or minced gherkins.

I am a big fan of the Venerable Robert, and serve it over pork tenderloin. Great idea to use it on the lowly chop. Thanks
