Total Time
20 mins
Servings: 2 servings
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: British

Ingredients

  • 2 pork chops (about 1 lb total) If they are thick, pound them down a bit between two layers of plastic. This will tenderize them and allow them to cook quickly.
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup hard cider or wine, vermouth, or dry sherry
  • 1 Tbsp Stone ground mustard
  • 1/4 - 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat until quite hot. Sprinkle the pork chops with a little salt and the grill them for about 5 minutes on each side, just until they are done through and no longer pink. Remove the chops to a warm plate.
  2. Add the hard cider to the pan and let the liquid bubble away for a couple of minutes. It will reduce a little and you can scrape up any brown bits from the pan to add flavor to your sauce.
  3. Stir in the mustard and the cream and heat through.
  4. Serve the pork chops drenched in the sauce, with boiled potatoes alongside.
