Recipe for "pork-chops-2"

NAME

     PORK-CHOPS-2 - Pork chops in mushroom peanut-butter sauce
     I originally found this recipe in the Woman's  Day  Encyclo-
     pedia  of  Cookery.   It is very easy to prepare and makes a
     hearty main dish served over rice or noodles.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4)

     4         pork chops, about 1 cm thick
               shortening or oil
     4         onion slices (we like these fairly thick)
     50 g      peanut butter
     2 dl      condensed  mushroom  soup  (or  make  a  mushroom-
               flavored white sauce)
     6 cl      milk
     5 ml      Worcestershire sauce
     5 ml      salt
     1 ml      black pepper

PROCEDURE

          (1)  In a frying pan big enough  to  hold  all  of  the
               chops at once, brown pork chops on both sides in a
               little shortening or oil. Pour  off  fat,  leaving
               chops in frypan.
          (2)  Place an onion slice on top of each chop.
          (3)  Mix  peanut  butter,  mushroom  soup,  milk,  Wor-
               cestershire  sauce,  salt,  and pepper.  Pour over
               chops.
          (4)  Cover and simmer over medium to low  heat  for  45
               minutes.  You may want to move the chops around in
               the pan from time to time to keep them from stick-
               ing.

NOTES

     Smooth peanut butter is best. The  chunky  variety  gives  a
     strange consistency to this dish.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 5 minutes browning, 45 minutes sim-
     mering.  Precision: no need to measure.
