COUNTRY FRENCH PORK CHOPS RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:

• 1. Brine pork chops in 3 cups water and 3 TBS kosher salt for at least four hours (initially dissolve salt in one cup hot water). Heat cast-iron large skillet with 2 TBS olive oil in 400 degree oven. Remove from oven and place over medium-high heat. Cook chops until browned on one side (3-4 minutes) then turn over and transfer skillet back to oven for 6-10 minutes to finish cooking (less for thin chops and more for thicker chops). Transfer chops to a plate and cover tightly with foil. 2. Add broth to skillet and bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits with wooden spoon. Add brown sugar, vinegar, prunes, and olives and simmer until sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in butter and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Reduce heat to medium-low and return chops and accumulated juices to skillet. Simmer, turning chops once or twice, until sauce clings to chops and meat is completely cooked (145 degrees on instant-read thermometer), 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer chops to platter and spoon sauce over them. Serve.

FRENCH ONION SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Caramelise Onions: Melt butter on medium (or medium low for strong stoves). Add onion and garlic, cook 15 minutes until golden brown and caramelised, stirring regularly (see video). Remove from skillet.
• Prepare Chops: Sprinkle chops with garlic, salt and pepper.
• Sear: Add oil into skillet if needed. Turn heat up to high. Sear chops 1 minute on each side until nicely browned but not cooked inside. Remove onto plate.
• Gravy: Turn heat down to medium. Return onion into skillet, scraping in juices. Add flour, mix.
• Add beef broth and mix until incorporated. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Simmer Chops in Sauce: When it comes to a simmer, give it a big stir then add pork chops.
• Top chops with cheese, cover with lid to melt and finish cooking the chops through - only 3 minutes for thin chops like I'm using. Internal temp of 160F/70C for no pink (or 155F/68C for blush of pink).
• Garnish: Remove lid, sprinkle with rosemary. Spoon over French Onion Gravy, then sprinkle with more rosemary.
• Serve immediately, over mashed potato or similar.

PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and add them, browning well, about 2 or 3 minutes a side, reducing the heat slightly if chops brown too quickly.
• Remove chops to a platter and pour off most of the fat. Add green onions or shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits off the bottom. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the heat and boil pan juices to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and the parsley, if using. Taste and add more mustard if desired. Immediately spoon sauce over the chops and serve.
