Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 1 pound Potato gnocchi
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and pour in chicken stock. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, then stir in the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard (optional for an extra kick). Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions, typically by boiling in salted water until they float. Drain the gnocchi and set aside.

Step 5

In a separate large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the gnocchi and cook until lightly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet with the mustard cream sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the chops are fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.

Step 7

Serve the mustard pork chops over a bed of crispy golden gnocchi. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy your flavorful Mustard Pork Chops with Gnocchi!
