How to serve this pork chop

Why should I cook pork chops in a dutch oven?
The dutch oven is the best way to cook pork chops. The dutch oven makes them unfussy, and simply delicious.
The heat will be evenly distributed, therefore will give your chops a nice golden edge. If you take the time to brine your pork chops, they'll be even better. But that's a total optional step, and only one you need to take if you have the time!
Dutch Oven Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 4 pork rib chops (1.75-2 pounds)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced (8 oz package)
- 1 shallot
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp thyme
- ½ tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1 ½ cups stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
Instructions
- Pat your pork chops dry with a paper towel and coat them in kosher salt and pepper evenly on each side.
- Add olive oil to a dutch oven over medium heat and sear the pork chops for 3-5 minutes on each side. They shouldn’t be touching, work in batches to keep them evenly spaced. If your chops are on the thinner side, sear for less time, vice versa for thicker chops.
- Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate. Don’t clean your dutch oven, add the sliced mushrooms, shallot, onion, garlic, and brown sugar. Saute for 8-10 minutes.
- Add the Italian seasoning, thyme, paprika, and four. Stir until the flour and spices coat the mushroom and onion mixture.
- Add the stock, heavy cream, apple cider vinegar, butter, and dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and turn the heat down to medium-low, stirring and thickening the sauce for about five minutes.
- Return the pork chops to the pan for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes.
