Preparation Time:10 minutes
Cooking Time:25 minutes
4 (6 oz./170 g) bone-in centre loin chops
1 tsp (5 mL) dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
1/2 cup (125 mL) diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups (750 mL) sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup (60 mL) white wine
1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken stock
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Dijon mustard
1 tsp (5 mL) yellow mustard seed
1 Tbsp (15 mL) maple syrup
1 tsp (5 mL) nely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 cup (125 mL) whipping cream
2 Tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Place the pork chops on a plate and sprinkle both sides of each pork chop with thyme, salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the oil. When it is hot, add the chops and fry for about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a clean plate. Depending on the size of your chops and skillet, you may have to fry the chops in batches. Add the onion to the skillet, and sauté for a few minutes. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms. If there is not enough fat in the skillet, add another tablespoon of oil.
Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their juices. Stir in the wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for a minute or two, then pour in the chicken stock, both kinds of mustard, maple syrup and rosemary. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cream and simmer another 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Return the pork chops to the pan and warm through for a few minutes. Serve the chops with the mushroom sauce on top.
Serves 4 (1 pork chop per person)

Few ingredients say “Canada” like mustard, barley, maple syrup and smoky, thick sliced bacon. It’s the sort of dish that can be kept warm for service but be careful, it’s awfully easy to snack on. In the springtime, we like to add a few spears of steamed & chopped asparagus at the end just before […]
Mixing a bit of heat from the chipotle, a bit of sweet thanks to the apple and a bit of zip from the three kinds of mustard, these are moist and favourful burgers the whole family is sure to love. The herb aioli is absolutely fantastic when served with grilled chicken or fish, or as […]
