Pork Chops With Spring Vegetables Mustardy Pan Gravy Recipe 465

SKILLET ROASTED PORK CHOPS WITH SPRING VEGETABLES AND MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath. In batches by type, blanch the radishes, English peas and snow peas in the boiling water for 1 minute per batch. Transfer each batch to the ice water to stop the cooking process, then transfer to a colander to drain. Cut the snow peas into julienne strips. Transfer the blanched vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with the coriander, cumin and some salt and pepper.
• Add the oil to the pan and heat until smoking. Add the pork chops, reduce the heat to medium and cook until caramelized on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the chops and cook until caramelized on the other side, another 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, tarragon and 3 tablespoons of the butter. Cook, basting the pork with the butter (be careful not to burn the butter, though it will brown lightly), until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F for medium, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chops to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you make the sauce and finish the vegetables.
• Drain off half of the butter, add the leeks and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the white wine and cook, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the chicken stock and mustard and cook for a few minutes until slightly reduced. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to form a pan sauce and season with the champagne vinegar. Add the reserved vegetables to warm in the sauce while it simmers to reduce, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper as necessary.
• Serve the vegetables and sauce with the pork and garnish with dill.

PORK CHOPS WITH SPRING VEGETABLES & MUSTARDY PAN GRAVY RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chops with salt and pepper and cook, in batches, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest chop registers 145° F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reserve the skillet. Add the broth and mustard to the skillet, whisking to scrape up any browned bits. Cook until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in another large skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallots, tossing occasionally, until browned and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the radishes and cook until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar snap peas and cook just until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the peas, season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Serve the pork chops over the vegetables, with the gravy drizzled on top and sprinkled with the chives.
