pork chops with sauce soubise, brown rice and saurkraut

it's what i made myself for dinner. i was skeptical about the sauce soubise because it became clumpy when i was waiting for the rest of the food to cook, but it went really well with the flavor of the porkchops, and my flavor i mean frying it in bacon grease. i also cooked the onions in bacon grease instead of butter. bacon grease makes everything better.

sauce soubise

2 white onions, chopped finely

4 tablespoons butter (two for cooking the onion, and two to make the roux)

2 tablespoons flour

1 cup milk

salt and pepper

3 tablespoons heavy cream

Cook the onions in 2 tablespoons butter until they are very soft (about 12 minutes). They should not brown.

In a saucepan, melt the other 2 tablespoons of butter and incorporate the flour, stirring over low heat for two minutes.

Gradually whisk in the milk, blending well after each addition. Cook the sauce over low to medium heat until it thickens and comes just to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked onions and heavy cream.

Makes about 1 1/3 cups sauce.
