Name: Tarragon-Dijon Pork Chops
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings.
Ingredients: 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 6 ounces each); 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided; 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms; 4 green onions, chopped; 1/4 cup Dijon mustard; 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons chipotle or other hot pepper sauce; 1 tablespoon red wine, optional; 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon

For my smoky chops, I add tarragon for a hint of herbs. If you like a lot of sauce, double or triple the ingredients. —Julie Danler, Bel Aire, Kansas

This was really good and surprisingly light. I used baby Bella mushrooms, and I added the red wine. My only issue was using grey poupon. Its a very spicy, in your nose, Dijon. Next time I will try Maille, it is slightly milder.

I made mine in a cast iron skillet. Loved the bed of mushrooms. Served with garlic-olive oil mashed potatoes.
