Sage Pork Chops With Goat Cheese Sauce Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH GOAT CHEESE AND CARAMELIZED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Melt 1 tbsp butter in 1 tsp olive oil in medium sized, oven proof sauce pan over medium/medium high heat.
• Add red onion. Let cook, stirring constantly for 20 minutes.
• While onions cook, mix 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, the 2 tbsp chicken broth and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl.
• Add 2 tbsp of chicken broth to onions at a time, letting sizzle and cook away. Repeat until no broth remains.
• Butterfly pork chops and sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper.
• Spread goat cheese evenly inside each pork chop, leaving room around edges.
• Once onions are brown and caramelized, add a spoonful of onions to top of goat cheese in each pork chop. There will be onions remaining in the pan. Add lemon mixture to pan with onions and simmer, scraping down the sides of the pan.
• Close pork chops and dust with flour. If you are having trouble keeping them together, use toothpicks or mini skewers. However it is better if you can work without, as the escaped goat cheese comes in handy in the sauce later!
• Melt 1 tbsp butter in skillet over medium heat and cook pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until seared and brown.
• Put pork chops and any drippings into the pan with the simmering onion/lemon mixture and place in oven.
• Cook for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness, or until cooked through but still tender.
• Remove pan from oven and place back on medium low heat. Remove pork chops and whisk in heavy cream and let come to a bubble. Add parsley. Spoon over pork chops and enjoy!

• Spoon the sauce over pork chops while serving.

PORK CHOPS IN CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Rub both sides of pork chops with sage, then lightly flour and add salt and pepper to taste. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown in oil until light golden. Add onions and caramelize.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine cheddar cheese soup with sour cream and mix well. If too thick, add water until desired consistency is reached.
• 3. Pour sauce over pork chops and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 1-1/2 hours. Serve with rice, noodles or potatoes.

SAGE PORK CHOPS WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE GRITS

Steps:

• For the cheese grits: Stir together 2 cups of the chicken stock and the cream in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Stir in the garlic, thyme leaves and 1 teaspoon salt until the salt dissolves. Rain in the grits, stir well and let them come to a simmer. Once you reach a simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir every 2 minutes, making sure nothing sticks to the bottom. The grits will take about 20 minutes, so while they're cooking, let's make the pork chops.
• For the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry, season generously with salt and pepper and rub with the sage. Place the cornstarch on a large plate for dredging.
• Heat a large 9- to 11-inch skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and swirl to hit all sides. Give the chops a quick dredge in the cornstarch on both sides and carefully place down and away from you in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the chops over and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chops to a large plate while you finish the sauce.
• Turn the heat to high and add the broth and apple juice to the skillet. Bring to a boil while stirring and scraping up all the delicious brown bits from the skillet. Once the liquid reduces by about a quarter, about 2 minutes, turn down the heat to a low simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and butter. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper, if needed. Return the chops to the skillet, cover, and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F, 2 to 4 minutes.
• After simmering the grits for about 20 minutes, taste to make sure they are soft and the raw corn taste has cooked out. Grate the cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Stir the cheese into the grits until melted, taste again and add up to 1 cup of the remaining chicken stock as needed if the mixture is too stiff. Add any additional seasoning as necessary. Pour the cheese grits onto a large platter with medium sides. Top with the pork chops and spoon over the pan sauce. Garnish with the scallions.

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.

PORK CHOPS IN CREAM SAUCE TOPPED WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chop. In a large heavy skillet, brown the pork chops in oil over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove chops and keep warm.
• Pour the oil out of the pan. Melt the butter in the same pan, then saute the shallot, then 2 cloves garlic, until soft about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms, plus a little more salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms start to get color and soften, 2-3 minutes.
• Add sherry and one tablespoons each oregano, thyme, and rosemary, and stir around, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve the brown bits. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce sherry about 1 minute. Stir in cream, mixing well. Add pork chops and any drippings back into the cream sauce. Cover and simmer until pork chops are cooked, 3-5 minutes.
• In a small bowl mix goat cheese, 1 clove garlic, 1 teaspoons oregano, and 1 teaspoons thyme. Divide goat cheese between the pork chops, topping them. Cover again and continue to simmer until cheese is warm. Serve by drizzling cream sauce over chops and garnish with a sprig of thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

SAGE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine the salt, sage and black pepper in a small bowl and rub on both sides of the chops. Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the chops for 5 minutes per side, or until well browned.
• Meanwhile, in a separate small saucepan over high heat, combine the water and the bouillon and stir until bouillon dissolves. Add this to the chops, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer chops for 45 minutes.

PARMESAN SAGE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.
• Mix flour, salt, and ground pepper in a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, sage, and lemon peel in a shallow dish. Gently press pork into flour mixture to coat and shake off excess flour. Dip into beaten egg, then press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place breaded pork onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown pork chops on each side, about 4 minutes per side, then transfer to baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of pork reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes.
