Pork Chops With Sauteed Zucchini And Mustard Butter Recipe 455

THE BEST JUICY SKILLET PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
• After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
• Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
• Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
• While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
• Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
• Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot. Pat pork dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add oil to hot skillet, swirling to coat, then brown chops, turning over once, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a shallow baking pan, reserving skillet, and bake, uncovered, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour off fat from skillet, then cook shallots in butter over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add broth and any juices from baking pan and boil, scraping up any brown bits, 2 minutes. Add mustard and cream and return to a boil, then add lemon juice and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

ZUCCHINI STUFFED PORK CHOPS & MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini and salt well in a colander and let it drain for about 30 minutes. Squeeze the zucchini dry (I use paper towels to do this).
• In a large non-stick skillet heat 3 tbsp of the oil and cook the garlic and the zuchini over a fairly low heat, stirring until it's just tender. (Don't cook it any longer or it will be too mushy).
• Stir in the parmesan and let cool.
• Cut a deep pocket in each chop and stuff with the zucchini.
• Heat the remaining oil in another large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
• Pat the chops dry with a paper towel, and coat them in the sesame seeds. Press the seeds in (you might need more or less depending on the size of your pc's) -- and saute (3 at a time if you like), turning them once, til they are firm to the touch (about 8 minutes total).
• Keep warm on a platter in the oven.
• Meanwhile, make the mustard sauce: In the oil remaining in the skillet that you cooked the pork chops in, saute the onion over medium high heat until it is soft, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and de-glaze the pan. Whisk in the cream (or stir in the sour cream). Add the mustard, the parmesan cheese, and any juice that may have accumulated on the platter, and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to your liking.
• I spoon it over the chops or you could serve them on top of a pool of sauce. Goes very well with spinach btw!
