Pork Chops with Cherry Mustard Sauce
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 (6- to 8-ounce) bone-in pork chops
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 pound cherries, halved and pitted (or 1/2 cup dried cherries, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and drained)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 200°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper, then add to skillet, working in batches if needed, and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer to an oven-proof platter or baking sheet and keep warm in oven.
Deglaze skillet with wine, scraping up browned bits, and reduce heat to medium.
Stir in mustard, then add cherries.
When sauce begins to bubble, return pork to skillet, spooning sauce over the top, cover and reduce heat to medium low.
Cook about 5 minutes, then rearrange pork so the chops on the bottom are now on the top, and spoon sauce over.
Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes or more, until pork is cooked through but still very slightly pink inside. (Test by cutting into the thickest part of one chop with a knife).
Remove chops to serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon the sauce over the pork and serve.
