Pork and Chanterelles with Tomato Sauce

Serves 4 as a main course

Excellent when served over linguine or fettuccine, with a side dish of fresh vegetables.
Mix together the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and parsley. Trim the fat from the chops. Dip the chops in the egg and then in the Parmesan cheese mixture. Brown on both sides. Place the chops in a baking dish. Heat the oil and butter in a sauté pan or skillet. Cook the chanterelles for 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and cook 7 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the mushrooms and sauce over the chops in the baking dish. Add the vermouth. Bake in a preheated 350º oven until tender, about 1 hour.
