A Mess Of Pork Chops With Dijon Dressing Recipes

A MESS OF PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON DRESSING

Steps:

• Season chops on both sides with salt, pepper and allspice. Place thyme sprigs on each. Reserve 1 tablespoon thyme leaves. Put chops in a large bowl or container, making layers, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove chops from refrigerator. Heat grill and brush grates with oil. While grill is heating, heat tablespoon of oil in a skillet, add shallots and sauté until tender and starting to brown. Stir in mustard, soy sauce, lemon juice and wine. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in thyme leaves. Set aside.
• Grill chops - with thyme sprigs still stuck to them - just a few minutes a side until lightly browned, in more than one shift if needed, depending on size of your grill. Pile them on a platter. Warm sauce and serve alongside.

PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat the EVOO in a small pot over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots and lemon zest and season with a little salt and lots of pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, then add the sherry and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and honey and simmer until reduced, 15 minutes. Stir in the mustard and tarragon, then remove the glaze from the heat.
• Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
• Coat the pork chops with EVOO and season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the chops, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, basting liberally with the glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE

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.
