Today I really felt like making a meat dish. The weather is getting colder, perfect for some comforting pork chops! I used organic, pasture raised bone-in pork chops and left some of the fat around the edges (trim if desired) for more flavor. Serving this on a bed of mushrooms and arugula (or other greens like spinach, kale) make for a healthy side dish.
You can also try my mustard roasted potatoes as an additional side dish. Mustard and pork complement each other nicely, so this would be a great match. For a perfect meal, serve with a nice bottle of Pinot Noir and finish with an easy frozen berry cobbler.
Recipe below…
Brown pork chops 2-3 minutes on each side.
Saute onions and garlic, then add sliced mushrooms. Stir in broth, then arugula.
Pork with Mushrooms and Arugula Recipe
2 pork chops
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 cups arugula
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons thyme
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
pepper, to taste
In a flat dish, combine flour, thyme and salt & pepper. Lightly coat the pork chops in the flour mixture. Remove pork and reserve the remaining flour.
In a large skillet, warm oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until brown, about 2-3 minutes per side (make sure to not overcook pork, you can use a thermometer and cook to 140°F). Remove pork onto a plate. Keep warm under foil and set aside.
In the same skillet, over medium-high heat cook onions, garlic and mushrooms, stirring for about a minute (add oil if pan is dry). Add reserved flour and cook until dissolved, about a minute. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for a few minutes until sauce has thickened. Add arugula to mushroom sauce and cook until wilted. Place on serving platter and top with pork chops and serve immediately.
Total Time: 20-30 minutes
Yield: Makes 2-4 servings

This was really easy and super delicious. I made it with small whole Irish potatoes. The family loved it and ate every bit.
That’s great to hear, Nicole! Potatoes are the perfect compliment for this dish. Thanks for the comment and hope to see you again
