Braised Pork Chops With Creamy Mustard Sauce Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and brown pork chops on both sides; place in bottom of slow cooker when browned.
• In same skillet, reduce heat to medium and saute onions until softened; add garlic, dry mustard, salt and pepper, and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add vinegar and wine and cook until thickened.
• Pour this mixture over pork chops, put lid on crock pot and cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours or on High for 2 to 2-1/2 hours (I did Low for 4-1/2 hours), or just until pork is tender.
• Remove pork chops from slow cooker and place on a warmed platter.
• Stir Dijon mustard and whipping cream into juices in slow cooker; when well combined, turn slow cooker off and pour sauce over chops on platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and add them, browning well, about 2 or 3 minutes a side, reducing the heat slightly if chops brown too quickly.
• Remove chops to a platter and pour off most of the fat. Add green onions or shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits off the bottom. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the heat and boil pan juices to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and the parsley, if using. Taste and add more mustard if desired. Immediately spoon sauce over the chops and serve.
