Country Pork Chops Recipe With White Beans And Crispy Sage

PORK CHOPS WITH WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and rosemary; season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together broth and tomato paste. Pour mixture into skillet; stir in beans. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until beans are coated evenly and sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, generously season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork (in 2 batches, if necessary) until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on top of bean mixture.

TUSCAN PORK CHOPS WITH WHITE BEANS AND CRISPY SAGE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
• Add three tablespoons olive oil to a cast iron skillet set over medium-low heat. Add the dried sage leaves to the skillet in a single layer. Season with some salt and sauté, turning once, until the leaves are golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and carefully transfer the sage leaves from the skillet with a slotted spatula and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Set aside.
• Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and adjust the heat to medium. Add the pork chops to the skillet and sprinkle with the garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chops are nicely browned. Transfer the chops to a plate and set aside.
• Add the chicken broth to the skillet and gently scrape up any brown bits with a plastic spatula. Remove from heat and add the beans and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
• Return the pork chops and the juices that collected on the plate to the skillet before placing in the center of the preheated oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer reads 60°C/140°F. Remove from oven and allow the pork to rest for 5 minutes.
• Serve the pork chops and white beans immediately topped with the crispy sage leaves. Enjoy!

SAGE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Season pork generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium; add pork. Cook until browned and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Make sauce: Add shallot to skillet; cook over medium, stirring until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and wine. Simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 2 to 3 minutes; stir in any accumulated juices from plate with meat. Transfer chops to plates, drizzle with sauce, and serve with Parmesan Rice.
