The juicy pork chops and garlicy mushroom and mustard sauce with the plump little dumpling is exactly what home cooking should be. I so often when making this add some frozen peas into the sauce towards the end so that it also contains the vegetable element.

Heat the butter and oil in a heavy based pan over a high heat. Season the chops with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes a side until browned. Then transfer to a plate.
Add the mushroom to the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook without stirring until they have gone golden brown. Add the garlic, thyme and half the parsley and continue to cook for a minute, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the wine and using your spoon scrape any bits stuck to the bottom up. Stir in the cream and mustard and return the chops to the pan and let simmer for 4 -5 minutes until chops are cooked through.
Meanwhile, Cook the gnocchi in a large pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions. Drain and add to the creamy sauce. Check for seasoning and scatter with the remaining parsley and serve.

I’m trying to pair a vegetable with this and I cannot think of what it would pair it with.
It’s great with peas. Add frozen peas directly into the sauce and let them cook in it. Crunchy green beans would be nice too
Asparagus would be perfect
I’m not a big Gnocchi fan, but I made this for my family. They liked it, I had the leftovers the next day and they were delicious. Tonight I’m making it again, but with chicken instead of pork. Thanks for the great recipe.
