Wine, Teriyaki Sauce Put Punch in D. J.’s Accidental Pork Chops

“Here’s another ‘accident’ from old D. J. (Chicken Wings Pacifica) McClary,” reads the letter that accompanied this recipe. McClary shared her Chicken Wings Pacifica recipe, one of our long-time favorites, with Times readers many years ago.

D. J.’S ACCIDENTAL PORK CHOPS

6 to 8 pork chops

1/4 cup butter or margarine

3 tablespoons olive oil

20 large mushrooms, washed and sliced about 1/4-inch thick

1/4 cup sweet wine

1/2 cup bottled teriyaki sauce

1 (10 1/2-ounce) can white sauce

In large skillet brown pork chops in 2 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons oil. Remove chops from pan. Add remaining butter and olive oil to pan drippings. Add mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Add wine and teriyaki sauce and simmer a few minutes. Add white sauce and stir until smooth and completely blended. Place half the pork chops in 3-quart casserole and pour over half of sauce. Layer remaining pork chops and pour remaining sauce over. Bake at 350 degrees 1 1/2 hours or until chops are tender. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
