Pork Chops in a Marsala Mushroom Sauce

March 24, 2022 by zimmysnook

A skillet with three bone-in pork chops nestled in a luscious mushroom sauce.

Pork Chops in a Marsala Mushroom Sauce.

This easy and delicious meal is perfect for date night, an elegant dinner party or even a weeknight meal.

Local bone-in chops are seasoned with salt and pepper, then seared. Removed the chops and added butter to the pan. Tossed in cremini mushrooms, fresh thyme leaves, and cooked the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes. Sprinkled on a tablespoon of flour and cooked for a minute or two. Added about a cup of Marsala, then cooked it down for a minute. Added a cup & a half of stock, brought it to a boil then simmered it for 6-7 minutes. Returned the chops to the sauce and put the skillet in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping the chops once. Removed the chops to a plate and reduced down the sauce until it reached the desired consistency.

Serve the chops bathed in the delicious sauce, with mashed potatoes or rice, your favourite veggies and nice bottle of wine. We choose a Californian Chardonnay, but this dish also pairs nicely with a Pinot Noir or an Argentinian Malbec.

Elaine only planted one cucumber plant but it has been very productive, plus there is no shortage of mint in the garden, picked up some local strawberries and the salad was done.
Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!

Sous-Vide Carrots with Hummus. Perfectly cooked c Sous-Vide Carrots with Hummus.

Perfectly cooked carrots, flavoured with a hint of spice, a pop of freshness and drop of sweetness.
Whether served as an appetizer or a side, this dish is sure to impress. The sous-vide carrots retain their natural sweetness, while soaking up all the flavours of the other ingredients. The slight spiciness is tempered by the creamy hummus.

Full disclosure… this has been our dinner-for-2, on more than one occasion. That is how seriously good it is!

Tip: Sous-Vide ahead of time, then just pan-fry before serving.

Grab your skillet, fire up the grill, it is Nation Grab your skillet, fire up the grill, it is National Filet Mignon Day, time to eat well! 

There are many ways to cook a filet mignon, but a reverse sear is my choice for a thicker cut of meat like these filet mignons.
A reverse sear is an ideal way to ensure consistency of your finished cook and avoid that terrible feeling of cutting into an overcooked (and expensive) steak! Simply start by cooking your steaks at a low temperature (200°F) until they are close to done. Then sear them on a scorching hot grill or skillet to finish.

I used the @HestanCulinary NanoBond Titanium Skillet to slow cook the filets then finished on the @HestanHome grill so that I could sear my smashed potatoes in the beef and rosemary drippings (I don’t waste those tasty drippings). The NanoBond is also ideal for searing the steak as it is heat tolerant to 1050°F and creates a beautiful crust on the surface of the filet.

You can find my tips for cooking a filet mignon on zimmysnook.ca (linkin.bio).

Beef Ribs with Salsa Verde. It is said that we eat Beef Ribs with Salsa Verde.
It is said that we eat with our eyes first and these gorgeous Beef Ribs with Salsa Verde alongside a loaf of crusty, garlic bread is meal that will bring joy from beginning to the very end!
 
The secret to these tender, mouth-watering ribs is to start with local Canadian Beef, then cook them low and slow in the oven first. Season them well, wrap them tight and toss them in the oven for 3.5 hours. Then finish them off with a char on a hot grill. It is really that simple!

Remove the ribs from the grill and rest them, meat side down, on a board sauce of bright, herbaceous Salsa Verde. The beef’s juices mix with the mint, parsley, charred green onions, & lemon juice, to create something magical. Once sliced, the ribs get drizzled with more of the flavourful salsa, the perfect balance to the rich, charred ribs.

I highly recommend you mop up the salsa, juices, and bits of meat left on the bottom of your plate with a slice (or two) of Furlani Garlic Bread. Oh, so good!
 
It was pleasure to create this recipe in partnership with @lovecdnbeef and @furlani_foods.

New Potato & Bean Salad. A perfect side dish for New Potato & Bean Salad.

A perfect side dish for cooler summer evenings when it doesn’t feel too hot to boil the potatoes and beans. Delicious served warm as soon as it is made, but it continues to develop deeper flavour if left to marinade for a few hours. Serve alongside your favourite barbecue dishes including beef, pork, chicken, and fish.
