Pork Chops with Paprika and Sage Cream Recipe

Directions:

1. Combine paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper in small bowl. Spread half of the mixture on pork chops, pressing into both sides. Reserve remaining paprika mixture for the sauce.
2. Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter with vegetable oil in large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and brown well, about 3 min per side. Reduce heat to Medium-Low and continue to saute until just cooked through, about 3 additional min per side. Transfer pork chops to heated platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
3. Pour off drippings from the skillet. Add remaining 1 Tablespoon butter to skillet and melt over Medium-Low heat. Add shallots and cook 2 mins stirring occasionally. Add remaining paprika mixture and minced sage and cook 30 seconds. Add wine and boil until liquid is reduced by half, scraping up any browned bits, about 3 mins. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in whipped cream. Simmer until thickened slightly, stirring frequently, about 3 mins. Season with salt and pepper. Add any pork chop juices that may have accumulated on the platter. Spoon sauce over chops. Garnish with fresh sage leaves.
