minutes in half of the butter. Add the sherry and the stock and
pepper and salt to taste, simmer for 5 minutes. Dissolve the corn
starch in a little water, add it to the mushrooms and heat while
stirring until the mixture thickens. In the meantime, fry the pork
chops brown on both sides in the remaining butter. Distribute the
sauce on top and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
