Ingredients:
zest and juice of 2 oranges |
1/2 cup(s) finely chopped pistachios |
4 ounce log(s) soft goat cheese |
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground allspice |
1 teaspoon(s) salt |
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper |
4 6-ounce bone-in or boneless pork chops |
1/2 cup(s) white wine |
1 cup(s) chicken broth |
1/2 cup(s) orange juice |
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch |
salt and ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, combine the orange zest and juice, the pistachios, goat cheese, allspice, salt and pepper.
3. Arrange the pork chops in a small metal roasting pan. Spread a quarter of the pistachio mixture over the top of each chop. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chops reach 155 degrees at the thickest part. Transfer the pork chops to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm while preparing the sauce.
4. Place the pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. In a small glass, mix the orange juice and the cornstarch, then add to the pan, stirring until thickened. Strain the sauce through a mesh strainer, if desired. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper. Serve the sauce with the pork chops.
