This might be my favorite way to get Jade to eat some spinach. The mascarpone keeps it light while adding a creaminess that marries all the flavors together into a luscious sauce. It's in our rotation year-round.

Time 50m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 to 3 bone-in pork loin chops (about 12 ounces each)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled and cut in half
One 5-ounce container baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
4 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 large lemon)

Steps:

  • Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dry the pork chops well on both sides using paper towels and season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Add the oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook, undisturbed, until deep golden brown and beginning to look cooked around the edges, about 5 minutes. Flip the chops, lower the heat to medium and cook, searing the edges as well, until golden brown and the center reaches 140 to 145 degrees F, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate to rest and carry-over cook.
  • Return the pan to medium heat and add the butter, shallots and garlic. Cook until fragrant and soft, about 1 minute. Add the spinach to the pan along with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often until wilted. Stir in the mascarpone, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water and bring to a simmer. Stir in any juices from the pork that have accumulated on the plate and cook for 2 minutes longer. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops and serve.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pork chops, about 1-inch thick and 6 to 7 ounces each, see notes
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chili powder, see our homemade chili powder recipe
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon neutral oil like avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, see our homemade chicken stock recipe
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
  • Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
  • Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
  • Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
  • Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure optimal flavor and texture, select thick, bone-in pork chops. Bone-in pork chops retain moisture and flavor better than boneless chops during cooking.
  • Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels before cooking. This helps to ensure even browning and prevents the chops from steaming.
  • Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. This enhances the natural flavor of the meat.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for cooking the pork chops. This helps to distribute heat evenly and prevent hot spots.
  • Sear the pork chops over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. This creates a delicious crust and helps to lock in the juices.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking the pork chops for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the pork chops are cooking, prepare the Florentine sauce. This sauce is made with a combination of spinach, cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter. It adds a creamy, flavorful topping to the pork chops.
  • Once the pork chops are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter and top with the Florentine sauce.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Skillet pork chops Florentine is a classic dish that is both delicious and elegant. By following these tips, you can easily create this dish at home. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, while the Florentine sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
