• 6. Replace pan back on the stove top and add 1 T. butter and 1 T. flour to the reserved oil in pan. Stir until combined.

• 8. Add the capers and the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring slowly to incorporate.
• 9. Serve with the sauce over the chops or on the side. It's all a matter of preference. (I like mine over my chops. D.H. likes his on the side.)
• 10. Top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color.
