Instructions

Step 1

Drizzle some olive oil over pork chops. Season them with salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper (optional), garlic powder, and thyme. Turn them over and repeat again.

Step 2

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet/frying pan and add pork chops in. Fry for 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and let sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile: pour water in the skillet and with a spatula or silicone spoon deglaze the skillet - remove any pieces that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in ½ cup of whipping cream. Stir for a minute before adding mustard in. Stir until the sauce has thickened. Taste it. Add the rest of the cream (if you find the sauce too thin or too strong).

Step 4

Serve the sauce separately or put the pork chops back in the skillet and serve as is.
