SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH BLISTERED GRAPES
Pork chops make a great weeknight dinner, and this dish is no exception. It looks and feels special, but comes together in about 20 minutes with very minimal prep. Selecting bone-in pork chops is beneficial beyond appearance: The bones protect the meat to keep it moist. However, you could also use boneless chops or even chicken breasts, if you'd prefer; just be sure to reduce the cooking time accordingly.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high. Pat the chops dry with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Cook the chops until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the grapes to the skillet, and sauté until brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to the plate. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the shallot and garlic, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and thyme, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the white wine and cook, stirring, until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and mustard, and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chops, grapes and any accumulated juices back into the skillet, and cook just until everything is warmed through, about 3 minutes.
PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH GLAZED CARROTS
These chops are nice and tangy. You could also try this with NY Strip, mouth watering Ribeye, or T-Bone steak. A special thanks to our Zaar friend PaulaG for her help with revising the recipe. :) A great way to ensure tender and moist chops is to soak them in a brine of 1 cup milk to 1/2 Tbs salt for at least 1 hour before using in a recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F Dredge the pork chops (or steaks) in the spices (except oil). Let them sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavor of the spices.

- Cut carrots into thin slices and toss them in a bowl with the thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add the carrots to the saute pan with the pork chops.
- Place the saute pan into the oven for about 10 minutes or until chops are cooked thru.
- Remove the chops/steaks from the pan onto serving plates, and leaving the carrots, deglaze the pan with the orange juice.

GREEK-INSPIRED SEARED PORK CHOPS
Bursting with flavor and perfect for a light summer dinner, these Greek-inspired pork chops are anything but boring. The pork is well seasoned and the flavor is amplified through the caramelization that occurs during searing. The bright acidity is balanced out with salty, brininess from the olives and feta.

Steps:
- Place pork chops between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides of the chops evenly with Greek seasoning.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have good marbling.
- Season the chops well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is a good place to start. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
- Sear the chops over high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Reduce the heat and cook the chops until they are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Make the grape sauce while the chops are cooking: This will give the flavors time to develop.
- Serve the chops with the grape sauce and your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
Seared pork chops with grape sauce is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the grape sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
