Pork Chops In Tomato Sauce
If you want a pork chops recipe that gives you something extra special, this is it! The sauce is divine!
Ingredients
- 4 Loin chops
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ cup white wine or chicken or vegetable stock
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- ¼ cup cream or crème fraîche
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tomato peeled, seeded, and chopped (pour boiling water over the tomato for a few minutes and it will peel easily)
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Trim pork chops (too much fat is not good for you)
- Melt the butter and oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan until hot.
- Place chops into the hot oil, season with salt and pepper, and reduce heat a little so they do not burn.
- Cook until brown (a few minutes) and turn them.
- Cook again until brown then remove from pan and keep warm.
- Pour out fat from pan.
- Add the wine or stock along with the thyme and bring to a boil and cook until it has almost evaporated.
- Add the chopped tomato paste and the cream, stirring continuously.
- Now place the pork chops back into the pan and continue to cook for a further five minutes over low heat.
- Finally add the mustard, herbs, and chopped tomatoes stirring to incorporate them into the sauce.
Notes
- Stay with this while cooking to keep an eye on the progress of each step.
- Pour the cream in slowing while stirring constantly. If you use crème fraîche you will not have to worry about the cream separating as it is heat stable.
