Pork Chops with Parmesan Sage Sauce

Curtis loves pork, I can't say that enough. I'm not a pork fan but I do make it for him every so often. So when we were talking about favorite recipes we have that involve sage — pork chops are on the top of his list.

This is a super easy dish and serve it with your favorite rice or pasta and some sauteed green beans!

I made the sauce with half & half at Curtis' request first and then cooked the pork chops fairly quickly in a cast iron skillet. Once I removed the pork chops and set them aside (always let meat rest before cutting into it), I removed the skillet from the heat and then poured the sauce into the pan – so I could get all of the pan drippings into that sauce! It thickened up a little and…

I got two thumbs up for this dish! Curtis loved it!

I'm working with McCormick once again this season to share with you the Seasonal Seven Flavors, cinnamon, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, ginger, sage, vanilla, and peppermint, and most specifically I will be sharing recipes with sage in them. Check out the brown butter gorgonzola fries I made earlier this week.
