Pork Chops with Mushrooms

Pork Chops with Mushrooms
Serve with a fresh green salad

Serves 3 fillets

• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 4 pork bonless loin chops, 1 inch thick, trim all visible fat (6 ounces each)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh ground pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped shallots
• 1 cup low sodium chicken stock
• 10 ounces sliced baby bella mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

In a large skillet, heat the butter over moderately low heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium and add the chops to the pan and cook for 7 minutes. Turn chops until they are browned and done to medium, about 7-8 minutes longer. Remove the chops and put in a warm spot.

Add shallots to the pan and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the stock to deglaze the pan, stir in the mustard, 1 tablespoon parsley, and mushrooms. Season with fresh pepper and cook about 3 minutes, or until mushrooms are done. Plate the chops and pour the mushroom sauce over the top of each, then top with reserved minced parsley.
