Pork Chops with Mustard Crumbs
Recipe courtesy Gourmet Magazine

Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/3 cups coarse rye bread crumbs (2 to 3 slices)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (3/4 to 1-inch thick) rib pork chops (2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not
smoking, then saute bread crumbs, garlic, sage, salt, and pepper, stirring, until crumbs are golden
brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Transfer crumbs to a bowl and clean skillet.

Pat pork dry. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat, then brown chops
in batches, turning over once, about 4 minutes. Transfer chops to a baking pan and spread tops with
mustard and then bread crumbs. Roast in middle of oven until meat is just cooked through, 5 to 7
minutes.
