INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ lbs Pork loin, chops, boneless
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 lb Asparagus , sliced on an angle
  • ½ cup White wine
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Tarragon, chopped

METHOD

  • Season both sides of pork chops with salt.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Cook pork until browned on both sides, turning once, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • To the same skillet, add asparagus. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring. Add white wine and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in Dijon mustard.
  • Return pork chops to skillet and nestle between asparagus. Cook until pork reaches an internal temperature of 60°C / 145°F, about 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of chops. Sprinkle with tarragon. Serve.

NOTES

  • Substitute grainy mustard for Dijon for added texture 
  • Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to work in batches
