  Categories: Harned 1994, Herb/spice, Main dish, Pork
       Yield: 1 Batch
  
       1 tb Unsalted butter
       1 tb Vegetable oil
       4    Loin pork chops, 3/4" thick
            -- trimmed of excess fat
       1 c  Beef stock
     1/2    To 2/3 cup sour cream
     1/2 ts Caraway seed; or to taste
            Salt and pepper; to taste
       1 tb Fresh parsley; chopped
  
   In large, heavy saute pan, heat butter and oil.  Add chops and brown
   over fairly high heat on both sides to seal in juices. Reduce heat
   and cook uncovered to desired doneness (about 15 minutes). Remove
   chops to heated platter; keep warm.
   
   Remove excess fat from pan and place over medium-high heat. Add beef
   stock to deglaze pan, scraping up any meat bits from bottom. Cook 10
   to 15 minutes to reduce until thickened. Remove from heat (turning
   heat to low) and blend in sour cream.
   
   Add any juices which may have accumulated around chops. Return sauce
   to low heat - do not let boil. Add caraway seed, salt and pepper.
   Serve sauce over chops, sprinkled with chopped parsley.
   
   Yield: 3 to 4 servings.  Good served with German spatzle.
