Sauteed Pork Chops And Grapes With Mustard Sauce Recipes

PORK CHOPS AND APPLES IN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Spread the apples in a lightly buttered gratin dish, large enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer.
• Place gratin dish in the oven and bake apples for 15 minutes.
• While apples are baking, saute the salted pork chops over medium heat until nicely colored on each side-7 to 8 minutes per side.
• Remove gratin dish from the oven and arrange the chops on top of the apples.
• Deglaze the saute pan with the white wine and reduce by half.
• Drizzle reduction over the chops.
• Mix cream (or sour cream/yogurt and milk) and mustard, adding mustard little by little until you are happy with the taste.
• Pour evenly over the chops and apples and grate pepper overall.
• Return to oven and bake an additional 15 minutes.

SAUTEED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD AND TARRAGON SAUCE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Pat the pork dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 3 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown the chops on the first side, about 3 minutes.
• Flip the chops over, reduce the heat to medium, and continue to cook until the center of the chops (away from the bone) registers 135 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the chops to a clean plate, tent with foil, and let rest until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees before serving, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Do not clean the skillet.
• While the chops are resting, add the rest of the vegetable oil to the hot skillet, and return to medium-high heat until shimmering.
• Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the mustard and any accumulated pork juice.
• Turn the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time.
• Off the heat, stir in the tarragon and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the sauce over the pork before serving.

SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH GRAPE SAUCE

Steps:

• Salt the chops and let sit outside the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow them to come to room temperature.
• Add the bacon and 1 teaspoon oil to a saute pan and place over medium-high heat. Once the bacon starts to render, add the grapes. Allow the bacon to render and get crispy and the grapes to split open and release their juices. Remove half of the grapes and bacon and set aside. Add the port wine and red wine vinegar and reduce by half. Add the chicken stock and reduce by half.
• To a cast-iron pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork chops to the pan and sear. Cook the pork for 6 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip over and reduce the heat. Cook for another 6 to 7 minutes until cooked through. Flip and cook the pork on the remaining sides for another 2 to 3 minutes each side. Remove the pork from the pan and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes prior to serving.
• When ready to serve, add in the reserved grapes and bacon to the sauce. Taste and re-season if needed. Pour over the chops and garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.

Transfer chops to warm platter; tent with foil to 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. Sprinkle chops with parsley.

• Add the grapes to the skillet, and sauté until brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to the plate. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the shallot and garlic, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and thyme, and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the white wine and cook, stirring, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and mustard, and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
