Pork Chops With Mustard Cornichon Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 1 TBS butter with 1 TBS olive oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat.
• Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.
• Add 3 chops to each skillet and saute until lightly browned, about 3 minutes each side.
• Cover skillets and cook 9 minutes, until thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 145*F.
• Transfer chops to warm platter, tent with foil and keep warm.
• Add half of water, shallot and garlic to each skillet.
• Cook until shallot is soft, scraping up any browned bits, about 2 minutes.
• Add any juices from chops.
• Whisk in cornichons and mustard.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour over chops and sprinkle with parsley.

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.
