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!
