Ingredients

  • 1 small leek
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 oz Deli honey goat cheese
  • 4 (¾-inch-thick) bone-in rib or loin pork chops (2–2 ¼ lb)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz mushroom blend (fresh oyster, shittake, and baby portabella mushrooms)
  • 1 cup white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 2 tablespoons garlic-herb butter

Prep

    Steps

      1. Cut leek in half lengthwise and rinse well. Slice leek, white part only (½ cup). Chop oregano and thyme coarsely. Crumble cheese.
      2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season pork with salt and pepper (wash hands). Place oil in pan, then add pork; cook 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from pan.
      3. Add mushrooms and leeks to same pan; cook and stir 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften. Reduce heat to low; stir in wine and herbs.
      4. Return pork to pan; simmer 3–4 minutes until wine has reduced by about one-half and pork is 145°F.
      5. Remove pan from heat; transfer pork to serving plates and top with cheese. Whisk butter into sauce until blended. Serve sauce over pork.
