Porc au Poivre

We planned to make Pork and Pears (p. 252) for dinner tonight - instead, DB enthousiastically started to prepare Porc au Poivre, and we only noticed when it was too late. This is why we needed to substitute nearly every other ingredient - onions for shallots, white wine for red wine, and sherry for cognac. Nevertheless, it was very delicious and really quick and easy, and DB believes that using red wine and cognac will make it taste even better. You will have to watch out with the pork chops, they can become tough easily. If possible, try to make more sauce if you can.
