Pork Chops with Whole Grain Mustard Pan Sauce

Shawn has been getting onto me, because I collect cookbooks, but still use the internet for a good chunk of my recipes. He's decided to take it upon himself and pick out recipes he wants for dinner from some of the cookbooks. I appreciate it because I have a hard time narrowing down which one to cook, since everything looks so delicious. Recipe 9 of 52 came from The New Kansas Cookbook: Rural Roots, Modern Table.  My only complaint is that there wasn't more pan sauce. I could have eaten it with a spoon it was so tasty.



Pork Chops with Whole Grain Mustard Pan Sauce



4 boneless pork loin or rib chops (5-6 ounces each)
salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp shallot, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tsp whole grain or coarse ground mustard
1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp butter

Trim excess fat from the pork chops and season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet or sauté pan with a lid. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn the chops over, and reduce the heat to low. Cook the chops for 3 to 5 minutes more, to an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees for medium to medium well. Transfer the chops to a warm platter, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Reserve the pan drippings.

Add the minced shallot to the pan drippings and cook over low heat for about 1 minute. Add the wine and raise the heat to medium-high. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the wine is reduced by about 1/3. Stir in the mustard, rosemary, and thyme. Reduce the heat to low and cook the sauce for 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 tbsp butter.

Great recipe! I love recipes that involve grainy mustard and this one incorporates it very nicely.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
