Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustards, 1/2 cup of oil and sherry vinegar until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon remaining oil. Meanwhile, season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside to absorb the seasoning for a few minutes.
- When the oil begins to smoke, add the shiitake mushrooms to the pan, brown side down, in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, for 3 to 5 minutes over medium heat until the caps are seared all over. Using kitchen tongs, turn mushrooms on their other side and cook for a few more minutes until golden. Transfer mushrooms to a plate and set aside. Wipe skillet of any excess oil with a wad of paper towels and set over medium heat once again.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. When it begins to smoke, add the pork chops in a single layer (you may have to do this in two batches). Cook the pork chops over high heat until the first side is browned, 6 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness. Flip over the pork chops and place the skillet in the center of the oven. Cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes or until done to taste. Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pork chops to rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter. Top with mustard vinaigrette and mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork cutlets should be at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Tenderize the pork cutlets: Pounding the pork cutlets with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to tenderize them and make them more evenly cooked.
- Season the pork cutlets well: Pork cutlets can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
- Sear the pork cutlets: Searing the pork cutlets in a hot pan will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Bake the pork cutlets: After searing, the pork cutlets should be transferred to a baking dish and baked in a preheated oven until cooked through.
- Make the sauce: While the pork cutlets are baking, you can make a simple sauce to serve with them. A good option is to sauté some spinach and shiitake mushrooms in butter or olive oil, then add some chicken broth and cream.
- Serve the pork cutlets: Once the pork cutlets are cooked through, they can be served with the spinach and shiitake mushroom sauce. They can also be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Baked pork cutlets with sautéed spinach and shiitakes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork cutlets are tender and juicy, and the spinach and shiitake mushroom sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
