INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE PORK CHOPS
- 3 pork chops, boneless
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 small yellow onion, minced
- 1/3 cup vegetable or chicken stock
- 1 3/4 cups half and half or heavy cream
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
- 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- Fresh chopped parsley
DIRECTIONS
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops on both sides with paprika, salt and pepper, and sear in the hot pan, for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness, or until cooked to your liking. Once done, remove pork chops from the pan and set aside.
- Melt butter in the remaining cooking juices in the same pan. Add garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, and red crushed chili pepper and stir-fry until fragrant, about one minute. Add in the vegetable or chicken stock, and allow to reduce a little.
- Reduce heat to low heat, add the half and half (or heavy cream), and bring to a gentle simmer. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Add the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, and stir in the parmesan cheese (if using). Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce.
- Transfer the pork chops back into the pan to reheat; sprinkle with the parsley, and spoon the sauce over each pork chops. Serve over steamed vegetables, zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice. Enjoy!
- Note: You can use dry white wine instead of vegetable stock if you prefer.
