  • ½ tsp (1 g) freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) mustard (preferably Düsseldorf Löwensenf)

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (35% or 18%)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white wine

Instructions:

  5. Heat the oil (and/or butter) in a large frying pan.

  7. Remove chops when done and keep warm.
  8. Add 2 teaspoons mustard to the same pan and stir to loosen remaining browned bits in the pan. Add cream and wine. Bring to boil to reduce to a gravy. Season with salt and pepper and serve over chops.
