Best Pork Chops With Leeks In Mustard Sauce Recipes
PORK CHOPS WITH LEEKS IN MUSTARD SAUCE
This is from the May 2009 bon appetit magazine. They did a story about heritage pork which is tastier, smaller and marbled better. I"ve just been using regular chops when I make this but if you have access to heritage pork, I'm sure it would take this recipe to a higher level. I posted this just the way it was written in the magazine but I always cook my chops for longer than this recipe says. There's just no way to get them fully cooked in that short amount of time. I basically double their times for the chops. You can figure on this taking a good 40 minutes if you're using the thick chops that are called for.

Steps:
