MAPLE-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Season both sides of pork with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to hot pan and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. In a medium bowl, whisk together maple syrup, mustard, 3 garlic cloves, and ginger. Add sauce to pan and bring to a simmer. Add chops to simmering liquid, cover and cook 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer 5 more minutes, until sauce reduces and pork is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, in another skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the Brussels sprouts and the remaining minced garlic clove. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve immediately.

MOM'S EASY PAN FRIED PORK CHOPS AND TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, paprika and sugar.
• Dry pork chops with paper towels and rub spice mixture all over them. Set aside.
• In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook bacon pieces until crisp. Remove bacon to drain on paper towel, without removing the fat from your skillet.
• Depending on the amount of fat in your pan, remove some until you have enough fat to cook the pork chops in, 2-4 tablespoons approximately. We usually use some paper towel to soak some up, if necessary.
• Increase your heat a little and cook each pork chop until brown on one side only, 5 minutes.
• Remove pork chops from skillet and place on plate, browned side up. Wipe out your skillet if desired or necessary. We usually do.
• Reduce heat back down to medium and add oil. Heat until oil is shimmering or a drop of water flicked in it dances.
• Add mushrooms, onion, celery, and garlic and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.
• Add flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes.
• Add tomato paste and cook, continuing to stir for another 2 minutes.
• Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, thyme, bay leaves, and cooked bacon and bring to boil.
• Place pork chops, browned side up, in your skillet.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• The timing will change depending on the size of your pork chops. Check to make sure your pork chops are cooked with a meat thermometer, about 150 degrees.
• Remove chops from skillet and add salt and pepper to the gravy to taste.
• Add more thyme, garlic, paprika if you desire.
• Remove your bay leaves.
• Serve gravy on top of your pork chops and some rice or mashed potatoes if you desire! Enjoy!

PORK CHOPS WITH MASHED POTATOES, BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND A MUSHROOM MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Brussels sprouts: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking; set aside.
• Heat a saute pan to medium-high heat and add the oil followed by the onions and garlic. Sweat the onions and garlic for a few minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with the chicken stock and then swirl in the butter. Reserve.
• For the mashed potatoes: In a large pot filled with water, add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer them back to the pot. Add the cream, butter and salt and pepper to taste and mash until smooth. Reserve.
• For the mushroom madeira sauce: Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Add the onions and sweat for a few minutes. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook over medium-high heat until slightly caramelized. Deglaze the pan with the Madeira and cook out the alcohol for about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and reduce by a third. Lower the heat, add the demi-glace and simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the pork chops: Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add some oil to a hot saute pan and sear the chops for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, another 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, drain off any excess oil and deglaze with the Madeira, leaving the pork in the pan. Return to the heat and cook off the alcohol for about 2 minutes. Reserve.
• To create the plate: Place some mashed potatoes on the center of each plate. Follow with some Brussels sprouts. Place a pork chop on top and spoon sauce all over.
