Unstuffed Pork Chops With Mushroom Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Season both sides of pork chops with paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons butter. Sear pork chops until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and mustard; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add flour to the skillet, stirring to remove any lumps. Slowly add beef broth, whisking until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Check for seasoning again.
• Return pork chops to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Serve hot.

Steps:

• For the chops:.
• Mix salt, paprika and pepper in a small bowl, rub onto chops.
• Heat oil& butter (or Pam) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Brown chops 3 minutes per side.
• Cover, reduce to medium and cook until inside is just pink and juices run clear when pricked, about 10 mins; flip chops halfway thorough.
• (Since I was using very thick chops I started them off in the pan as directed and finished them in the microwave.) Serve with Mushroom Sauce and lemon wedges.
• Mushroom Sauce.
• Melt butter over medium heat.
• Add onion and garlic, saute until translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
• (I had actually planned to use canned mushroom slices and wouldn't have cooked it 10 miutes).
• Add thyme, zest and wine/sherry, and the broth; simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in cream, salt and pepper, simmer until lightly coats back of spoon.
• (Since the fat free half& half doesn't thicken that well, I used less liquid to begin with, and I always turn off the pan before adding the half& half.) Prep time and cook time is combined for both.
• Most of the chop cook time was pretty passive, but the sauce was more active.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in upper third.
• Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and put on a cutting board. Using a small paring knife, cut a 2-inch opening horizontal to the cutting board, halfway up the meat in each chop. Move the knife back and forth in a fan motion to open the interior of the pocket without significantly widening the opening. (You don't want to pierce through the meat but simply create a pocket for the stuffing.) Brush the exterior of the chops with oil, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and set aside until the stuffing is ready.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallots and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring rarely, until browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove to a plate to cool slightly. Wipe out the frying pan and return it to the stove over medium-high heat. Taste the stuffing and adjust the seasoning, as necessary. Stuff half of the mushroom mixture into the pocket of each chop. If the filling is falling out, secure the chops closed with toothpicks.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, arrange the stuffed chops in the pan and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the chops to the other side and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the pork is cooked and an instant-read thermometer, inserted into the center of the chops, registers 160 degrees F, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and set the pork aside on serving plates to rest. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and add the vermouth. Cook, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula, until the alcohol smell is cooked off and is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, and let it melt. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. Drizzle the sauce over the chops and serve with a gratin, mashed potatoes, or polenta, if desired.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown pork chops in oil. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish; sprinkle with stuffing mix. In a small bowl, combine the milk, soup and pepper; pour over top., Cover and bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• Put the croutons, butter, scallions, apricots, 1 cup of the chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine. Set aside to let the croutons soak up the broth.
• Pat the pork dry and season all over with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and few grinds of pepper. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Arrange the pork in the skillet in a single layer (it's okay if the chops are touching) and cook until nicely browned and almost cooked through, 4 minutes per side. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the pork chops to a baking sheet. Pack and pile 1/4 of the stuffing on top of each chop. Broil until the stuffing is golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, return the skillet to medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the sour cream and Dijon until smooth, about 1 minute. Season the sauce with a few grinds of pepper. Spoon the sauce onto 4 plates. Transfer a pork chop onto each pool of sauce. Serve with the side salads.

Steps:

• Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, brown chops on both sides in 1 teaspoon oil; remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in remaining oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Add wine, stirring up any browned bits; cook for 4-6 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in soup and broth. Bring to a boil. Return pork chops to the pan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt butter in medium skillet and add onion and green pepper, and saute over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Place bread cubes in medium bowl, add onion and green peppers, and remaining stuffing ingredients and mix well.
• The stuffing should be fairly moist. Add more broth if needed or if using hard bread cubes.
• In same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and quickly brown chops, about one minute each side.
• Spray a casserole dish large enough to hold the chops with cooking spray.
• Spoon stuffing into 2 mounds in dish, place browned chops on top, and cover.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, until done.
• About 10 minutes before chops are done, using the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add sliced mushrooms and saute for about 2 minutes, until they begin to soften.
• Add wine and cook until its almost all evaporated.
• Stir in flour well.
• Dont worry, it will be dry.
• Stir in chicken broth and let it quickly come to a boil.
• Immediately reduce heat and let simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
• If too thick for your liking, just stir in more broth and continue to simmer.
• Spoon a little sauce over each chop and serve hot!
• NOTE: I use whatever bread i have on hand for stuffing.
• This was particularly good with sunflower bread, as you could taste the sunflower seeds.
• NOTE: If stuffing chops, follow the directions as they are but stuff them before browning, using toothpicks to hold them together.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops in the hot butter, sprinkling both sides with salt and pepper, about 5 minutes per side. Remove meat to a plate and set aside.
• Cook onion and garlic in the pan drippings over medium-high heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in wine, reduce heat, and let simmer until alcohol smell is completely cooked off, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in soup and milk, blending well. Layer mushrooms on top of soup mixture, add chops on top of mushrooms, and pour meat drippings from the plate over the chops. Sprinkle with thyme and sage.
• Cover tightly and let simmer until chops are tender and no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
