Herb-crusted baked pork chops with white wine sauce

Herb-crusted baked pork chops with white wine sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that combines tender, juicy pork with a flavorful herb crust and a rich, tangy white wine sauce. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy dinner at home, and it's surprisingly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

14 oz pork fillet
400g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
4 fl oz white wine
120g
3 tbsp butter
44g
2 tsp fresh parsley
2.50g
1.50 tsp mustard
8g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Pork Fillets:
- Pat the pork fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick better.
- Rub the fillets with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Season both sides of the pork fillets with salt and black pepper.
3. Sear the Pork Fillets:
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork fillets and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This helps lock in the flavor and gives the pork a nice crust.
4. Bake the Pork Fillets:
- Transfer the seared pork fillets to a baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
5. Prepare the White Wine Sauce:
- While the pork fillets are baking, prepare the white wine sauce.
- In the same pan used for searing the pork, add the white wine. Over medium heat, simmer the wine, scraping up any bits of pork stuck to the pan.
- Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely, stirring constantly.
- Once the butter has melted, stir in the mustard until fully combined.
- Let the sauce simmer and reduce for about 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the fresh parsley and reduce the heat to low. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
6. Serve:
- Remove the pork fillets from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the pork fillets into medallions or leave them whole as preferred.
- Drizzle the warm white wine sauce over the pork fillets.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley, if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Make sure to pat the pork chops dry before seasoning them to help the crust adhere better.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to the correct internal temperature (145°F or 63°C).

- Allow the pork chops to rest for a few minutes after baking to let the juices redistribute, resulting in juicier meat.

- Deglaze the pan with white wine to pick up all the delicious browned bits, adding extra flavor to the sauce.

- To enhance the flavor of the sauce, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.

With its herbaceous crust and lush white wine sauce, this baked pork chop recipe is sure to impress. It's a straightforward and rewarding dish that will elevate any dinner table. Enjoy your perfectly cooked pork chops with a side of your favorite vegetables or a simple salad, and savor every bite of this delightful meal.
