• Transfer the seared pork chops to a plate or bowl while you sear the others.
• After you are done searing, and have removed all of the pork chops to a plate, add the onions and garlic to the pan, and cook for three minutes.
• Add the white wine, and reduce by half. Add the water, and pork chops, and lower the heat to low, and cover the pan.

BAKED PORK CHOPS WITH WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
• Sprinkle the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper. Brown the chops on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes total. If the skillet is not oven safe, arrange the pork chops in a baking dish that is large enough to hold the chops in one layer. Cover with sliced onion.
• In a bowl combine the thyme and rosemary with wine and chicken broth; pour over pork chops.
• Cover the pan with a lid or cover the baking dish tightly with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 45 minutes or until tender and fully cooked. The minimum safe temperature for pork is 145 F.
• Remove the pork and onions to a serving platter, and keep warm.
• Use a gravy separator to remove the excess fat from the liquids. Strain the liquids into a saucepan or back into the skillet, and place the pan over medium-high heat. Bring the juices to a boil and boil for 1 minute to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
• In a small cup or bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir in the juices and continue cooking until thickened. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of butter and stir until melted.
• Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and onions.

PORK CHOPS IN A MUSHROOM WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a fry pan to medium-high. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Quickly brown the pork chops in the pan, 3 to 4 minutes per side. No need to cook them all the way, as they'll finish cooking in the oven. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Leave the juices from the browned pork chops in the pan. Add the diced onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the soup, white wine, and mushrooms. Stir until mixed. Remove from heat.
• Add the browned pork chops, and any juices that may have accumulated, back into the pan with the sauce. Spoon some sauce on top of the pork chops. Cover and place in the oven; bake for about 45 minutes. Take the lid off and bake an additional 15 minutes. Serve with the sauce.

PORK CHOPS IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the pork chops and fry in a small amount of oil until slightly browned on both sides; drain.
• In a bowl mix together, mushroom soup, wine, water and mushrooms.
• Combine soup mixture with pork chops. Cover and simmer on low heat for about an hour until chops are tender.

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
• Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.

PORK CHOPS WITH WINE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet over high heat. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops and sear them until they're nice and golden, about 2 minutes per side. (No need to completely cook the chops at this point.) Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium high, then throw in the whole cloves of garlic. Stir them around and cook until they get nice and golden brown, a couple minutes. Pour in the red wine, then add the bay leaf. Stir it around and cook, raising the heat if necessary, until the sauce is reduced and thick, several minutes.
• Stir in the beef broth (you can add more if it needs the liquid) and add the chops back to the skillet, arranging them so they're swimming in the sauce. Cook the chops in the sauce for a few minutes, then add the balsamic. Shake the skillet to get it to distribute, then cook for a couple more minutes, or until the pork chops are done.
• Remove the chops from the skillet once more, then let the sauce reduce a little more if needed, until it's very thick and rich and the garlic is soft. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle in a little salt and pepper.
• Arrange the pork chops on a platter, then pour the whole skillet of sauce (including the garlic) over the top. Serve with Lemony Green Beans if desired.
• Snap off the stem ends of the green beans or cut them off in a big bunch with a knife.
• Heat a pan over a medium heat and add the butter. (It helps to use a pan with a light-colored bottom, so you can keep track of the color.) Swirl the pan occasionally so the butter cooks evenly. As the butter melts, it will begin to foam. The color will progress from lemony yellow to golden tan to, finally, a toasty brown.
• Once you smell that nutty aroma, add the green beans and saute for 3 to 4 minutes so the beans take on a little color. Add the lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, then transfer to a platter in batches with tongs.

PORK CHOPS AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the rice and saute until it is light brown, about 5 minutes.
• Spread the rice in a 9- by 13- by 2-inch casserole. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and arrange them on top of the rice. Pour the broth and 2/3 cup water over the chops. Spread the onion rings over the chops and sprinkle them with the pepper. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake until the pork chops are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Change the oven to broil, add a bit more broth if the rice is dry and return the dish to the oven for a couple of minutes until the pork is browned.

ONE-PAN PORK FILLET WITH LEEKS, APPLES, MUSTARD & THYME

Steps:

• Melt the butter over a medium heat in a large, shallow saucepan, frying pan or flameproof casserole until foaming. Season the pork slices, then fry for 2 mins on each side until browned. Use a slotted spoon to lift the pork onto a plate, then cook the apple wedges in the same pan for 3-4 mins until starting to caramelise. Lift onto the plate and set aside. Reduce the heat, scatter the leeks and thyme into the pan and cook for 15-20 mins until softened.
• Splash in the vinegar and simmer for 1 min, then pour the stock over the leeks, season and simmer for 10 mins more. Pour in the cream, then add the mustard and return the pork and apples to the pan. Season to taste and simmer for 5 mins more until the pork is cooked through but still tender and the apples are starting to soften. Serve the pork spooned over mash, if you like.
