Ina Garten Mustard Pork Chops Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 4 pork chops (1-inch thick; about 10 ounces each)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons brandy

How To Make Ina Garten Mustard Pork Chops 

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the pork chops and sauté until well browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chops and keep them warm.
2. Discard the oil in the skillet and wipe it clean. Add butter and melt it over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, sautéing until aromatic but not browned, about 1 minute.
3. Remove the skillet from heat and carefully add brandy. Return to heat and add heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Reduce heat to low and return the pork chops to the skillet. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the chops are cooked through about 4-5 minutes. Turn the chops once during cooking.
5. Remove from heat and season with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter, spoon sauce over them, and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
