PORK CHOPS WITH MORELS

Steps:

• Wash the morels in two to three changes of water. Pat them dry and cut them into halves or quarters, according to their size.

• Pour the fat from the pan and place the chops and the pan in the oven for six to eight minutes. Remove the chops from the oven and keep them warm on a plate.
• Make the sauce. Cook the morels in the remaining butter for three minutes. Add the sherry and reduce by half. Add the cream and simmer until the sauce has a velvety consistency. Correct seasoning and add lemon juice to taste. Place chops on a serving dish and reheat in the oven for two to three minutes. Add any juices released by the chops to the sauce. Pour sauce over and around chops, sprinkle with tarragon and serve.

ROASTED VEAL CHOP WITH MORELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
• Pour boiling water over morels in a small bowl and soak until morels are softened, about 30 minutes. Transfer morels with a slotted spoon to a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Press on morels with back of spoon to remove excess liquid (be careful not to squeeze out all the moisture), then add to soaking liquid and reserve. Rinse morels to remove any grit. Reserve morels and liquid separately, allowing liquid to settle.
• While morels soak, let veal chops stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Pat chops dry and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper (total). Heat an ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat until hot. Add oil and heat until smoking, then add veal chops and sear underside well, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn chops over and sear 1 minute.
• Add butter, garlic, and thyme to skillet and baste veal with melting butter. Transfer skillet to oven and cook, basting every few minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center of chop registers 130 to 135°F for medium-rare, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer chops to a plate to rest. Discard garlic and thyme, keeping juices and fat in skillet, and return to burner over medium-high heat. (Handle will be very hot.) Add morels and sauté 1 minute. Add shallot and sauté 1 minute.
• Remove from heat briefly and add Cognac, then return to heat and deglaze, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until most of liquid has evaporated. Slowly pour in reserved soaking liquid, being careful to leave last tablespoon (containing sediment) in bowl. Add meat juices from plate and boil until liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup.
• Stir in crème fraîche, swirling to incorporate, and boil until morels are lightly coated and liquid is slightly thickened. Stir in chives and tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Serve chops smothered with morels.
