Preparation

  1. Season the chops slightly with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a frying pan and saute the chops until rare or medium rare. Remove and keep them warm in a low oven.
  2. Deglaze the frying pan with the Cognac and stock. Add the mustard and thyme leaves and cook over high heat a minute or two until sauce is slightly thickened. Add any juices from the chops. Correct seasoning.
  3. Spoon some sauce over each chop and serve.
  • This dish is good with sauteed potatoes and a watercress salad.
