Mustard-Crusted Pork Chops recipe

This recipe calls for a mustard crust similar to the classic lamb chops recipe served at Easter. Tangy and slightly sweet, this dish gains a lovely crust from roasting in the oven.

Ingredients:

4 pork chops, 1-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
½ cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Season pork chops lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine mustard, sugar, mustard powder, rosemary, and garlic; mix well. Smear evenly over chops.
Heat oil in a large, heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add prepared chops and brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and cook 20 to 25 minutes, until no longer pink and cooked through. Serve warm.

Made these today but used parsley instead of rosemary, and left out the sugar. ABSOLUTELY delicious! Can't wait to have them again. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Omg, having never been very successful cooking pork chops I did it. Really brill, I served it with sweet potato mash and a cheese and pinenut stuffed mushroom, drizzled with the meat juices. My husband loved it! I followed the recipe, it was superb.

Made this today and loved it! Had to make my own dijon mustard. The pork chops were delicious!

Review by Colleen Batty on January 20th, 2012:

Really delicious. I did not worry about browning them in the pan first, put them straight in the oven with the sauce over and they browned and were wonderful.

Comment by Mandii on January 20th, 2012:

Made these yesterday, absolutely delis! Kids love loved them too, looks like this may become a family favorite :)

Review by Ashley on January 30th, 2012:

I will be making this again!! I didn't have rosemary, but it was still amazing! I also skipped the browning in the pan, instead, smothered with the sauce and increased cooking time in the oven! DELICIOUS!
