Pork chops with prosciutto and sage is a delightful dish that combines the savory taste of pork fillets with the rich, flavorful prosciutto and the aromatic hint of sage. This recipe is easy to prepare and perfect for a fancy dinner or a comforting meal at home.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pat the pork fillets dry with a paper towel. Then, season each fillet on both sides with a dash of salt and black pepper (total: 2 dashes each).
- Lay out the prosciutto slices. Place each pork fillet on top of 2 prosciutto slices and wrap tightly, ensuring the entire fillet is covered.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the wrapped pork fillets to the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the prosciutto is crispy and the pork is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F / 62.8°C).
- Remove the pork fillets from the skillet and set them aside. Keep them warm by loosely covering them with foil.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 3 tablespoons of butter.
- Once the butter is melted and begins to bubble, add the chopped sage leaves.
- Stir frequently, allowing the sage to cook in the butter for about 1-2 minutes, infusing it with flavor.
- Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it cook for another minute.
- Season the sauce with an additional dash of salt and black pepper.
- Place the cooked pork fillets on a serving plate.
- Spoon the sage butter sauce over the top of each fillet, ensuring each gets a good amount of sauce and sage.
- Optional: Garnish with a few whole sage leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy your Pork Chops with Prosciutto and Sage!
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork fillets and prosciutto to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to pat the pork fillets dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the pork fillets; cook them in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
- Let the cooked pork fillets rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
- If you prefer a stronger sage flavor, you can increase the amount of sage in the recipe according to your taste.
Your delicious pork chops with prosciutto and sage are now ready to serve. The combination of the juicy pork, crispy prosciutto, and fragrant sage creates a sensational dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy your meal!
