Flemish Pork Chops

This fantastic recipe came from Becky's mom and is the recipe that convinced Paul that pork chops aren't terrible after all. It blends the flavors of burgundy wine, chicken broth, and tomato paste with other spices to create a fabulous sauce that is great with the pork chops as well as with pasta. Once you try Flemish Pork Chops, you'll have to make them again and again.

Ingredients:

- 2 pork chops
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 medium onion, chopped (or dried minced onion)
- 3/4 cup burgundy wine
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste (or most of a small can)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

Brown pork chops in margarine, then add onion.

Mix wine, chicken broth, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and basil in a medium bowl. Pour over pork chops.

Simmer, covered, for one hour or until tender. Remove pork chops and set aside.

Melt butter and stir in flour. Mix into pan with pork chop juices. Boil a little to thicken. (Add more flour if necessary.)

Serve pork chops with sauce, over noodles if desired.
