Creamy Herb and Mustard Pork Chops

Recipe 23 of 52 was Creamy Herb and Mustard Pork Chops.  I don't have a picture because we dug right in. It was absolutely delicious. I got this recipe from the book 30-Minute One-Pot Meals by Joanna Cismaru.


Creamy Herb And Mustard Pork Chops

1 tbsp olive oil
4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick), fat trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp grainy mustard
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.

While the oil heating, season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side; they should be golden brown.

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and add the butter to the same skillet. When the butter has melted add the onion, garlic, basil and thyme and cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Whisk in the flour and mustard. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the chicken stock and heavy cream. Cook for a couple more minutes, making sure the flour is cooked, and season with salt and pepper as needed. 

Pour the sauce over the pork chops and garnish with parsley, if desired.

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...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
