SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH BLISTERED GRAPES
Pork chops make a great weeknight dinner, and this dish is no exception. It looks and feels special, but comes together in about 20 minutes with very minimal prep. Selecting bone-in pork chops is beneficial beyond appearance: The bones protect the meat to keep it moist. However, you could also use boneless chops or even chicken breasts, if you'd prefer; just be sure to reduce the cooking time accordingly.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high. Pat the chops dry with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Cook the chops until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- 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.
- Add the chops, grapes and any accumulated juices back into the skillet, and cook just until everything is warmed through, about 3 minutes.
SAUTEED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSTARD AND TARRAGON SAUCE FOR TWO
Succulent pork chops are always welcomed at diner time. If you have time and can plan ahead, we recommend brining the pork, as this will further enhance the flavor and texture.

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.
