These spinach mushroom pork chops have a creamy garlic sauce that comes together quickly and makes an excellent weeknight dinner.

Provided by Natasha Bull

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork chops (see notes)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
7 ounces cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork generously with salt & pepper on both sides.
  • In a deep skillet, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops that are up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the remaining butter and the mushrooms, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook the mushrooms for about 5-6 minutes or until they've released their water and the water has just about cooked off.
  • Sprinkle the flour in and cook for about a minute, stirring nearly constantly.
  • Add in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir it well so the flour dissolves and let it cook for 1-2 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Stir in the cream.
  • Add the pork back into the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit (let the sauce bubble a bit but not furiously boil) and the pork chops are fully cooked through (145F minimum). Keep in mind the pork's temperature will continue to rise once you stop cooking it.
  • Add in the spinach (I just lift the pork chops up with tongs and tuck it under them). Take the pan off the heat and let the spinach wilt for a minute or two. Season the sauce with extra salt & pepper if needed, then serve immediately.

CRUNCHY PORK CHOPS WITH GARLICKY SPINACH AND TOMATO SALAD



Crunchy Pork Chops with Garlicky Spinach and Tomato Salad image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pork chops, approximately 8 ounces each
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup ground nut oil or similar, for frying
3 medium tomatoes
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 cups baby spinach leaves
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Trim the thick white fat off the pork chops, cutting carefully around the outside edge. Lay the chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and, using a mallet or a rolling pin beat them until the meaty part of the chop is half as thick. You will need to beat around the bone, so turn them over once as you go.
  • Beat the egg in a shallow wide bowl with the mustard, oregano, and salt and pepper. On a large plate or platter, combine the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan.
  • Press each of the chops into the egg mixture, coating either side. Then dip the eggy chops into the bread crumbs, covering them evenly. Let them lie on a cooling rack to dry slightly while you heat the oil in a large frying pan. When a small cube of bread sizzles if dropped into the oil, then the oil is hot enough. Cook the chops until they are a deep golden color, about 5 to 7 minutes a side (depending on how thin you've managed to get them and how cold they were before going in the oil).
  • Meanwhile, quarter the tomatoes and take out the seeds, then cut the shells into strips and dice them. You can take off the skins, too, if you prefer, by steeping the tomatoes first into a bowl of just boiled water for 3 to 5 minutes. Combine the diced tomato, minced or grated garlic, oil, and lemon juice in a bowl, and season well with salt and pepper.
  • When the chops are ready, toss the spinach in the tomato mixture until well coated and divide the salad between 2 large plates, putting each chop alongside.
