How To Make braised pork chops with sour cream sauce

  • Step 1
    Heat the oil in a large skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer.
  • Step 2
    Add the chops and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Scatter the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and parsley around the chops.
  • Step 4
    Cover and cook 10 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Blend the wine, chicken broth and tomato paste and add to the skillet.
  • Step 6
    Cover closely and cook about 25 minutes longer, turning the chops once.
  • Step 7
    Remove the chops and keep hot. Add the mustard and sour cream to the skillet and stir.
  • Step 8
    Bring just to a boil, but do not boil or the sour cream will curdle.
  • Step 9
    Put the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing down with a wooden spoon to extract the liquid flavorings from the vegetables.
  • Step 10
    Pour the sauce into a saucepan and add the capers.
  • Step 11
    Reheat gently without boiling.
  • Step 12
    Spoon the sauce over the chops.
