Cotes de Porc Sauce Nenette

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dinner. The sauce is finger licking, plate licking, pan licking good. It is the main reason for my great love of this dinner.

I tend to forget that I love this meal so much, and wouldn't you know my kids picked and picked at it. It must have too much of a grown up taste for their palette.

This also has been on my "for guest only" dinner selection. I have made it for just a few VIP's that have been to our house. Made me want company.


4 pork chops, center cut with bone. Rinse, pat dry and season with Salt and Pepper.

1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp vegetable oil, heated in a skillet on med-high

Brown 2-3 minutes per side, remove from pan and de-glaze with 4 tbsp white wine and 1/2 tsp of Thyme

Reduce wine by half, then add 1 cup heavy cream warm to a slow boil. Add the pork chops back in and cook until chop is firm to touch, DON'T OVERCOOK.

Add, 1 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard to sauce and shake the pan back and forth to combine. Add 1 fresh tomato, diced. add 1 tsp tarragon.

Serve with Hash browns or my signature roasted potatoes.

No matter how you serve it, just say yum!!!
