Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick; about 2½ pounds total)
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 4 shallots, peeled and quartered
- 1 bunch radishes, halved
- ½ pound sugar snap peas, halved
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- Chopped fresh chives, for serving
Steps
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chops with salt and pepper and cook, in batches, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest chop registers 145° F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reserve the skillet. Add the broth and mustard to the skillet, whisking to scrape up any browned bits. Cook until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in another large skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallots, tossing occasionally, until browned and softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the radishes and cook until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar snap peas and cook just until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the peas, season with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
- Serve the pork chops over the vegetables, with the gravy drizzled on top and sprinkled with the chives.
