Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt and pepper. This will help bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that your pork is cooked to the proper temperature, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the pork chop and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables are mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Make a Roux: A roux is a mixture of equal parts fat and flour. It is used to thicken sauces and gravies. To make a roux, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the roux is golden brown.
- Deglaze the Pan: Deglazing the pan is a technique used to remove the browned bits from the bottom of the pan after cooking meat. To deglaze the pan, add a small amount of liquid, such as wine, stock, or water, to the pan and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon.
