Pork chops with mushrooms

Judith Papesh, Contributor
Wine Pairings:  

There’s a luxury to bone in pork chops that enhances the meats already savory, sweet tender character. Pork is a flavor chameleon, adapting to any number of seasonings and providing a versatile option at dinner. In this recipe, the pork’s savory nature is melded with classic seasonings of sage and thyme, with a healthy dose of earthy mushrooms.

With flavors strongly in the umami comfort sector, our pairing is with a library wine, the 2008 Falling Rain Cellars Cloudburst. This red wine showcases the potential of Washington, using Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec blended barrel by barrel to form a powerful, ageable wine.

Age has matured Cloudburst’s black fruits, berries, and dried herbs into a deep, resonant tone that complements the sage and thyme with a subtle lift of the sweetness of the pork. The mushrooms and sauce add finesse and balance to a wonderful pairing.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 thick cut bone-in pork chops
  • 8 ounces mixed mushrooms (baby portobello, crimini) , sliced
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried sage
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup dry white wine

Steps

1.

In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat melt the olive oil and butter. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, four to five minutes per side.

2.

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for one minute, then add the chicken stock, thyme, sage and black pepper. Simmer for ten minutes covered (the pork chops should be cooked to 145 F). Remove the pork chops to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.

3.

Add the white wine to the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce is reduced by half. Return the pork chops to the pan and heat on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

4.

To serve, spoon the sauce and mushrooms over the top over the top of the pork chops. Serve with mashed potatoes or polenta if desired.
