Tender pork chops served in a creamy mushroom sauce. A tasty and quick meal perfect for the cooler months.
If you enjoy a hearty meal in the winter, you'll love my Pork Chops in Mushroom Sauce. They key to this tasty meal is browning the chops before placing them back in the sauce. This process allows the fat to render out and turns the chops golden brown.
A few simple ingredients make this meal super tasty. It's all in the way you use them! I've used portobello mushrooms here, but you could use your favourite type including white button mushrooms.
How to make Pork Chops in Mushroom Sauce:
Trim the skin off the chops leaving a thin layer of fat then season with salt, pepper and paprika. Heat olive oil and butter in a large cast iron or non-stick pan until bubbling, then sear pork chops for 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove and cover chops. Add red onion to pan with half a cup of the stock to deglaze the pan. Add mushrooms and stir to combine. Stir in crushed garlic and cook for two more minutes before adding the remaining stock and cream. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Season to taste.
Place pork chops and their juices back into the sauce and allow 2-3 minutes for them to reheat and cook through. Garnish with fresh thyme then serve with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
