JULIA CHILD'S PORK CHOPS à LA SARA

Steps:

• Season the chops very generously with kosher salt. Add a few twists of black pepper. In a freezer bag, add the remaining ingredients for the marinade. Add the chops and then marinate in the refrigerator for at least two, but preferably 4-6 hours.
• 30 minutes before cooking, remove the chops from the refrigerator. Scrape off the marinade. Bring the chops to room temperature.
• In a braising dish (I use Le Creuset), or a skillet with lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Pat chops dry with paper towels (this is really important for getting the meat to brown). Brown the chops, about 4 minutes per side (don't worry if they aren't too brown, as they will continue to brown as they braise)
• Remove from heat to a plate. Pour off the oil, leaving the bits
• Over low heat, slowly melt 1 tbsp of the butter. Add the chops, close together, and cover.
• Cook, turning once or twice, until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. The time varies, but think about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and tent with foil
• Using a fat separator, skim off the fat, returning the juices to the pan.
• Turn up the heat to medium high and heat the juices, then add the wine. Deglaze the pan by stirring rapidly. Remove from heat, and stir in the ½ tbsp of butter.
• Return the chops to the pan to coat with the sauce. Garnish with parsley to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F. Dry the pork chops on paper towels. Heat the fat or oil in a fireproof casserole dish until it is moderately hot.
• Brown the chops, 2 or 3 at a time, on each side for about 4 minutes. As they are browned, transfer them to a side dish. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the fat out of the casserole and add the butter and garlic. Return the chops, overlapping slightly. Baste them with butter.
• Cover and heat the casserole until the meat is sizzling, then set in the lower third of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
• Turn and baste once or twice. The chops are done when the meat juices run clear with no trace of pink.
• Arrange the chops on a platter. Remove all but 2 tablespoons of liquid/fat from the casserole.
• Pour in the wine or beef stock and boil rapidly, scraping up the coagulated cooking juices until you have about 1/2 cup of concentrated sauce.
• Correct seasonings and pour over chops.

JULIA CHILD'S SALT MARINADE (RUB) WITH HERBS AND SPICES FOR PORK

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients together and rub them into the surface of the pork.
• Place in a covered bowl.
• Turn the meat 2 or 3 times if the marinade is a short one, several times a day if it is of long duration (see marination times below).
• Before cooking, scrape off the marinade and dry the meat thoroughly with paper towels.
• Time Required for Marination of Pork - If the meat is refrigerated, increase the minimum marination time by at least one third. Chops and steaks a minimum of 2 hours, 6-12 are even better. Loin roasts a minimum of 6 hours, but 24 are recommended. Fresh hams and picnic shoulders a minimum of 2 days, but 4-5 are more effective.
