“Sauté the onions with a little olive oil, a smashed garlic clove, white wine, and a little sugar and let them cook down slowly. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Sear the chops in a little butter and oil for a few minutes on either side, then return the onions to the pan. Add a bay leaf, a sprig of thyme, a bit of rosemary, some chicken stock, and more wine. Turn down the heat, cover it, and let it cook for about 10 minutes.”
