Pork chops work really well in a pressure cooker, staying moist. Just remember to release the pressure naturally so they don't toughen.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless center cut pork chops about 1-inch thic
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 shallots finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 15 ounce can artichoke hearts, halved
  • ¼ cup capers drained
  • ½ cup sundried tomatoes julienned
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
  1. Combine flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge both sides of the pork chops in the flour, shaking off any excess flour.
  2. Pre-heat the pressure cooker using the BROWN setting.
  3. Add the oil to the cooker and brown the pork chops on both sides. Remove the browned chops and set aside. Add the shallots and garlic to the cooker and sauté until the shallots start to brown and soften – about 3 minutes. Add the white wine and stir, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of cooker. Simmer for one minute. Add the artichoke hearts, capers, sundried tomatoes, chicken stock, Italian seasoning and lemon slices. Stir to combine, making sure the lemon slices are submerged in the liquid. Return the pork chops to the cooker and lock the lid in place.
  4. Pressure cook on HIGH for 4 minutes.
  5. While the pork chops are cooking mix the butter and flour together in a small bowl to form a paste. 6.Let the pressure drop NATURALLY and carefully remove the lid. Remove pork chops and let them rest for 5 to 10 minutes, loosely covered with foil. Return the cooker to the BROWN setting. Whisk the butter and flour paste into the sauce and bring the liquid to a boil to thicken. Stir in the fresh parsley and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the pork chops with some rice, or over angel hair pasta and top with the sauce and vegetables.
