Best Braised Pork Chops With Creamy Mustard Sauce Recipes

BRAISED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Season chops with 1/4 tsp thyme, salt and pepper (both sides).
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; add chops and brown well on one side before turning over to brown the other side.
• After turning, scatter onion in skillet around the pork, and stirring them to coat with the oil.
• Once the chops are thoroughly browned, reduce heat to medium-low; add orange juice, water, and remaining 1/2 tsp thyme to the skillet.
• Bring to a simmer and cover, cooking at a slow simmer for 15 minutes (if you find that your liquid is reducing too quickly, adjust your temperature a bit downward, and add an additional tablespoon water if needed).
• Meanwhile, combine sour cream (or yogurt) with the mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
• After the 15 minutes simmer time, remove the cover from the skillet and continue simmering until most but not all of the liquid has evaporated (about 5 minutes).
• Remove the chops (but not the onions) to serving dishes and remove the skillet from the heat.
• Stir the sour cream/mustard mixture in to the skillet; reduce heat to very low and return to stove.
• Heat just until the sauce is warmed, stirring all the while and never allowing to boil (just a minute or so).
• Top chops with sauce and serve.

BRAISED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together mustard, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt with 1/3 cup water. Pour over pork chops. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until tender, about 1 hour.
• Transfer pork to a serving platter. Raise heat to medium-high and cook sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over pork chops; garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and add them, browning well, about 2 or 3 minutes a side, reducing the heat slightly if chops brown too quickly.
• Remove chops to a platter and pour off most of the fat. Add green onions or shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits off the bottom. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the heat and boil pan juices to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and the parsley, if using. Taste and add more mustard if desired. Immediately spoon sauce over the chops and serve.
