Fast Fry Pork Chops With Dijon Mushroom Cream Sauce

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This makes a lot of sauce so you might want to cut the amounts in half. You can also use pork medallions flattened to about 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin in place of the fast fry chops, also you can lightly dredge the chops in flour before frying."

I found this recipe very bland even though I added a bit of extra garlic. I added the dijon and parmesan. I used organic 1/2" pork chops which I seasoned in advance. I found that the pork was great when first cooked (I sampled it!). I let it stand while I made the sauce. After I simmered in the sauce for 5 minutes as directed it came out tough. Wouldn't make this again.

I made this tonight and it was quite good. As mentioned by other reviewers, this recipe did make a lot of sauce. Next time, I'll use less. My pork chops were quite thick, so I butterflied them so that they'd cook faster. I could taste the Dijon mustard and I liked the flavor it imparted. It was good but it didn't wow me.

Thanks for the comments on the sauce, I cut it in 1/2 & there was still plenty of sauce for the chops along with the rice we had as a side dish. As I often do, I substituted yogurt for the cream & deli mustard for the dijon. To thicken the sauce I added 1/2 tsp of cornstarch/water close to the end of cooking. Fabulous flavour & definately a dish I will make again, thanks for sharing.

Outstanding thoroughly enjoyed. The only changes I made were for dietary/allergy reasons and subed spring onion (scallion) for onion and a small chilli (deseeded and finely sliced) for the capsicum (bell pepper). The resulting sauce is to die for and could easily be used for chicken or steak. Thank you Kittencal for an absolute keeper, made for 123 Hit Wonders 2007.

This was very nice and the kids ate it! I didn't use mushrooms this time (didn't have any). I let the sauce reduce a bit longer than the recipe called for to thicken it up. Next time I may use less Dijon. Thanks for a nice dinner!
