Pork Chops with Herb Mushroom Sauce

Yummy sizzling pork chops with herb mushroom sauce and topped with honey goat cheese! So good!

Pork Chops are a favorite of mine, no matter how they are made.

This recipe is an old recipe from my Aunt and I have modified it a bit by adding herbs, leeks and honey goat cheese.

I doubt my Aunt would have added the goat cheese, baby bellas and leeks.  Her recipe called for thinly sliced onions and button mushrooms.

Try this recipe and I think you will add it to your week day dinners.

You can have your meal on the table in about 25-30 minutes!

Enjoy!

Fried Pork Chops taste so good with a herb, butter and mushroom sauce. Top it off with honey goat cheese and this is definitely a winner.

Ingredients

1. 4 Pork Chops (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2. 1 small leak, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
3. 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
4. 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
5. 1/2 teaspoon salt
6. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
7. 1 tablespoon olive oil
8. 4 ounces mushrooms, baby bella mushrooms or you can use oyster or shitake (or all three)
9. 1 cup white wine or you can use chicken stock
10. 2 tablespoons butter
11. 1 clove minced garlic
12. 2 ounces Deli honey goat cheese, crumbled

Instructions

1. Cut leeks down the center lengthwise and rinse really well to remove any sand or dirt.
2. Slice only the white part and set aside.
3. Chop the herbs and crumble the cheese and set aside.
4. Preheat large heavy skillet on medium high for 2-3 minutes
5. Add olive oil
6. Salt and pepper each side of the pork chops and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side
7. Remove the chops and set aside
8. Add the mushrooms and leek slices to the pan juices and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until softened
9. Reduce the heat to low and slowly stir in the wine and the herbs
10. Return the chops to the skillet and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the wine has reduced by about 1/2. Do not overcook the chops...the internal temp should be 145 degrees
11. Remove the chops to a serving platter and top with the goat cheese
12. Add the butter to the herb sauce in the skillet and whisk until blended
13. Serve over the chops and cheese.

Notes

1. The honey goat cheese melts into the sauce and is simply delicious!
2. Try it and I think you will agree.
3. You can substitute onions for the leeks, but why not live dangerously and experiment! 🙂
