Ingredients

  • pieces Meat, pork, curry without bones

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 0.5 twigs Rosemary, fresh

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 120 ml Soup base, beef, cube

  • 200 ml Sweet cream

  • 1 spoon Mustard

Steps

  1. Strip the rosemary sprig and finely chop the leaves.

  2. Make small cuts along the edges of the pork chops to prevent them from curling during cooking. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Use your fingers to press the seasonings well into the meat.

  3. Place a large pan on the stove and heat the oil. Add the seasoned chops and quickly sear them on both sides (about 3 to 4 minutes per side). This ensures the meat stays juicy inside. Remove the cooked chops from the pan, place them on a plate, and cover to keep them warm.

  4. Pour the broth into the pan where the meat was cooked. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom well, loosening all the caramelized bits that formed during cooking. Add the cooking cream and mix in the mustard. Simmer the sauce over moderate heat until it thickens slightly and develops a velvety texture (about 5 to 6 minutes).

  5. For the last few minutes, you can add the seared chops back into the pan and let them cook a bit more in the sauce. This step is optional, as you can simply pour the prepared sauce over the cooked chops.

  6. Serve the prepared dish on plates and accompany it with your chosen side dish.

You can omit the rosemary or use another spice if you prefer. If you dont have Dijon mustard on hand, you can also use regular mustard.
