Ingredients:
| For the Pork Chops | For the Mustard Sauce |
|---|---|
| – 2 pork chops | – 1/4 cup flour |
| – 1 tsp mustard powder | – 2 tsp mustard powder |
| – 1/2 tsp season salt | – 1/2 cup water |
| – 1/8 tsp black pepper | – 1 small onion, chopped |
| – 1/4 cup ketchup | |
| – 2 tbsp orange marmalade | |
| – 1 tbsp soy sauce | |
| – 2 tbsp Dijon mustard |
Instructions:
-
In a bowl, combine the flour, 1 tsp mustard powder, season salt, and black pepper. This flavorful mixture will coat your pork chops perfectly, adding a delicious crust when cooked. 😊
-
-
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides. This step helps to seal in the juices and create a crispy exterior when cooking. 🍖
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Brown the pork chops on both sides, approximately 4 minutes per side. This will give them a lovely golden color and begin to develop a delicious crust. 🔥
-
While the chops are browning, prepare the savory mustard sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tsp mustard powder, water, chopped onion, ketchup, orange marmalade, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. This combination of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors will create a mouthwatering sauce for your chops. 🥣
-
Once the pork chops are nicely browned, pour the prepared mustard sauce over them in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes. This gentle simmer allows the flavors to meld together, and the pork chops to become tender and juicy. 😍
-
Occasionally spoon the sauce over the pork chops as they simmer, ensuring they are coated in the delicious flavors. This step ensures every bite is bursting with savory goodness! 🥄
-
After 20 minutes, your pork chops should be tender and infused with the flavorful mustard sauce. Serve them hot, spooning extra sauce over the top. The aroma alone will have everyone eager to dig in! 🍴
-
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of extra sauce, if desired. Enjoy these easy pork chops with savory mustard sauce alongside fluffy white rice and a crisp salad for a complete meal that’s sure to impress! 🥗
Notes:
-
Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the mustard sauce to suit your taste. You can add a bit more mustard for extra tanginess, or a touch of honey for sweetness.
-
If you’re cooking for a larger group, simply double the ingredients to make more servings. This recipe is easily scalable and always a crowd-pleaser! 🎉
-
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to meld, making the pork chops even more delicious the next day! 🍲
