4 center-cut boneless pork chops (6 to 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Grapeseed oil, for sauteing
1/2 cup Madeira wine

Steps:

  • For the Brussels sprouts: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and blanch until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking; set aside.
  • Heat a saute pan to medium-high heat and add the oil followed by the onions and garlic. Sweat the onions and garlic for a few minutes. Add the Brussels sprouts and sear until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with the chicken stock and then swirl in the butter. Reserve.
  • For the mashed potatoes: In a large pot filled with water, add the potatoes and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer them back to the pot. Add the cream, butter and salt and pepper to taste and mash until smooth. Reserve.
  • For the mushroom madeira sauce: Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Add the onions and sweat for a few minutes. Add the mushrooms and thyme and cook over medium-high heat until slightly caramelized. Deglaze the pan with the Madeira and cook out the alcohol for about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and reduce by a third. Lower the heat, add the demi-glace and simmer until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • For the pork chops: Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add some oil to a hot saute pan and sear the chops for about 4 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, another 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, drain off any excess oil and deglaze with the Madeira, leaving the pork in the pan. Return to the heat and cook off the alcohol for about 2 minutes. Reserve.

Mashed Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts - A Culinary Delight:

This recipe offers a harmonious culinary experience, blending the creamy comfort of mashed potatoes with the roasted goodness of Brussels sprouts. Here's a summary of tips and concluding points to make your cooking journey a success.

Mashed Potatoes:

  • Embrace the Creamy Texture: To achieve a velvety and smooth texture, boil the potatoes until they are fully softened, allowing them to easily absorb the creamy embellishing ingredients. A good ratio of 1 cup mashed milk or cream to 3 pounds of mashed potatoes will provide delightful richness.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Garlic and butter are your secret weapons for amplifying taste. Sautéed minced cloves of 1-3 large cloves infuse a delightful warmth, while the addition of 1-2 tablespoons of butter adds a creamy and decadent touch.
  • Unlock a Burst of Herb Delights: Elevate the aromatic appeal of your mashed potatoes by garnishing them with fresh herbs. The vibrant green of parsley or thyme complements the dish's visual appeal, while also infusing it with a herbaceous and aromatic touch.

Brussels Sprouts:

  • Embrace the Art of Roasty Goodness: Brussels sprouts and their journey towards perfection begin with roasting. This technique coaxes out their inherent sweetness, while bestowing a lovely caramelised crust. Halving the sprouts encourages even cooking and maximizes the surface area available for blissful browning.
  • Unleash the Potential of Pan Seared Delight: Should you lack the means for roasty adventures, pan searing emerges as a viable alternative, enabling you to render the sprouts with a golden-crisp surface while preserving their delectable tenderness within.
  • The Alchemy of Flavors: Garlic and butter, the dynamic culinary duo, grace this dish with their enchanting presence. Sautéed minced cloves of 2 -3 large cloves infuse a delightful warmth, while the addition of 1-2 tablespoons of butter enhances the richness.
  • Balsamic Glaze - The crowning Glory: Balsamic glaze, with its distinctive tartness and syrupy texture, takes this dish to new heights. Its luscious coat adds a layer of sophisticated sweetness that beautifully complements the roasted Brussels sprouts.

Conclusion:

As you embark on this culinary journey, remember that the key ingredients are attention, care, and a sprinkle of culinary passion. The harmonious marriage of creamy mashed goodness and roasted Brussels sprouts with a balsamic glaze drizzle will undoubtedly create a symphony of flavors, leaving your taste buds craving for more. Enjoy the process and savor the delectable masterpiece you've crafted.
