Hungarian Pork Chops

An Old World comfort dish without the work, these pork chops pair nicely with whole-grain noodles and steamed brussels sprouts.

Ingredients

Serves 4; 3 ounces pork and 3 tablespoons sauce per serving

Rub

1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon dried dillweed, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
4 boneless center loin pork chops (about 4 ounces each), cut 1/2 inch thick, all visible fat discarded
Cooking spray
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, stir together the rub ingredients. Sprinkle on both sides of the pork. Using your fingertips, gently press the rub so it adheres to the pork.

    Step 2

    Lightly spray a large, heavy skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook the pork for 4 minutes. Turn over and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until slightly pink in the center. Transfer to a large plate. Cover to keep warm.

    Step 3

    Increase the heat to high. Pour in the water, scraping the skillet to dislodge any browned bits. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Reduce the heat to low.

    Step 4

    When the boiling stops, whisk in the sour cream and salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through, whisking constantly. Don’t let the mixture boil. Serve the sauce over the pork. Sprinkle the green onion on top.
