Pork Chops with Garlic and Wine
I had bought two packages of pork chops from the grocery store, since they were guy one get one free. However, since they were on "Manager's Special", I had to eat them right away. I had used one package to make some baked pork chops and wanted to make a different dish.
I found a recipe for Pork Chops with Garlic and Wine on the Pioneer Woman's website, and decided to give that a try. Although I like some garlic, I don't like a lot of garlic, and I doubt I would like a whole clove of garlic. As a result, instead of using whole garlic cloves, I minced a garlic clove and used that instead of the 6 whole garlic cloves called for in this recipe.
I also didn't have any red wine and didn't want to buy red wine just for this recipe, so I used white wine. The recipe did say that I could use white wine instead for a lighter sauce.
The pork chops smelled pretty good when I first pan fried them with seasoning, as the recipe specified. However by the end, it was a little dry, and the "sauce" was reduced to be way less than I would have expected. I only had about a tablespoon of "sauce". Just enough to cover one side of the pork chops. In the pictures associated with the recipe, there is much more sauce. I'm not sure what I did wrong...
I did not enjoy this recipe, and would not make it again. If I buy pork chops again, I will definitely look for another recipe to use.
