Pork Chops And Cabbage With Mustard Cream Sauce Food

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD AND CREAM

Steps:

• In a skillet large enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it just begins to smoke. Add the chops and saute until well browned on each side, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm. Discard the oil in the skillet, then wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Set over medium heat and add the butter. When it's melted, add the shallots and garlic and saute until aromatic but not browned, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the brandy; be careful here, because the brandy may ignite. Add the cream and mustard to the skillet and return the skillet to the heat, increasing the heat to high. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Return the veal chops to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices, and simmer until the sauce has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon and the chops are just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the chops in the sauce once as they cook. Remove the skillet from the heat and season the chops with lemon juice and salt and pepper. Transfer the chops to a serving platter, spoon sauce over them, and serve immediately, sprinkled with the chopped fresh herbs.

PORK CHOPS WITH BACON AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Set a large heavy roasting pan across two burners over high heat; add oil and heat. Season pork with salt and pepper; brown on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add bacon; cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add onion; cook until softened, 5 minutes. Add cabbage, cut side down, and cook until light golden, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook until slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Add flour and stir until coated. Add milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then nestle pork chops in sauce. Transfer pan to oven. Bake until pork is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Season chops with 1/4 tsp thyme, salt and pepper (both sides).
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add chops and brown well on one side before turning over to brown the other side.
• After turning, scatter onion in skillet around the pork, and stirring them to coat with the oil.
• Once the chops are thoroughly browned, reduce heat to medium-low; add orange juice, water, and remaining 1/2 tsp thyme to the skillet.
• Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking at a slow simmer for 15 minutes (if you find that your liquid is reducing too quickly, adjust your temperature a bit downward, and add an additional tablespoon water if needed).
• Meanwhile, combine sour cream (or yogurt) with the mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
• After the 15 minutes simmer time, remove the cover from the skillet and continue simmering until most but not all of the liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes).
• Remove the chops (but not the onions) to serving dishes and remove the skillet from the heat.
• Stir the sour cream/mustard mixture in to the skillet; reduce heat to very low and return to stove.
• Heat just until the sauce is warmed, stirring all the while and never allowing to boil (just a minute or so).
• Top chops with sauce and serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD & SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a blender process chicken broth, sour cream, both mustards and the cornstarch until mixture is smooth and not lumpy. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it becomes thickened. Stir in the parsley and keep sauce warm.
• Heat a large skillet. Season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper and cook on high heat until browned; about 5 minutes. Turn the pork chops over and cook another 3 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the pork chops to dinner plates and spoon the mustard sauce over the top.
