These were really delicious. I made about a third recipe for the two of us. The addition of roquefort was really nice, not dominant, just a nice zing.
I would have been better using a smaller casserole, then quite full, to get more layers.

Pan-Fried Pork Chops with Sherry Vinegar and French Cornichons : page 252

Very good and fairly easy. It always amazes me how sour flavors (in this case vinegar and cornichons) make fat (in this case butter) taste less fat. I had boneless chops; the cooking times were perfect for ending up with cooked meat, still moist.

The recipe says it serves two, but call for four pork chops. I assumed that was an error and halved the cornichon butter. This was fine, just enough sauce for the two chops.

Interesting dish. A grilled bit of swordfish topped with a sauce of capers, anchovies, red pepper flakes, and garlic.
