I have made this twice, both times it was fabulous. This time I sliced the vegetables very thin and long (julienned) and used marsala wine instead of white. Everyone loved it.
Cook longer than 25 mins, to make thick chops more tender.
I did not have fresh tomatoes on hand and used canned tomatoes which worked just great!
This was lovely. Pierre Freney’s recipes are always straight forward, and good!
This is delicious. However, there is less than 1 cup of liquid in the recipe, so how does one reduce it to 2 1/4 cups?
Hey people! This was a winner. Added a carolina reaper and was close to too spicy. But thankfully just right. As a rule purchased the most high quality product for this simple recipe and that’s all you need. Subbed dry sherry for wine but only bc I had on hand. Served w boiled potatoes and simple romaine salad and was fab for beautiful late summer eve.
