Paleo Pork Chops with Mushroom and Leek Cream Sauce
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp avocado oil or oil of choice
2 Pork Chops Bone-in
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp Ghee
1 Cup Shimeji Mushrooms cleaned & sliced
2-3 Leeks sliced, half rounds, only the light green and white part
3 Cloves Garlic minced
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Cup Coconut Milk full fat
1 tsp Paprika
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat large skillet over medium/high heat and add avocado oil.
Season pork chops liberally on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Once the pan is nice and hot, brown chops well on both sides for about 5 minutes a side and then remove from pan and set aside.
Carefully wipe the pan and add some ghee, turn the heat to medium and add in the sliced mushrooms.
Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until nicely browed and then add in the leeks and garlic, sauté another 2 minutes.
Add in the broth, coconut milk and paprika. Bring to a boil and then reduce sauce to a simmer.
Add the pork chops back into the sauce and cover with lid. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes, until pork chops are cooked through (should be 145' internal temp).
Taste the sauce for seasoning and add in more salt and pepper as needed.
Optional serve over mashed potatoes or cauliflower mash, top with fresh parsley.
