Tips & Tricks (5)

Flour Coating Technique 🥄
Pat pork chops completely dry before dredging in flour to ensure a crisp, golden-brown crust that locks in moisture.
Wine Sauce Magic 🍷
Deglaze the pan with white wine or broth immediately after searing to capture all the flavorful browned bits (fond) for a rich, complex sauce.
Shallot Sweetness 🧅
Finely mince shallots and sauté them briefly before adding wine to release their subtle, sweet aromatics without burning.
Herb Bloom Technique 🌿
Crush dried tarragon and thyme between your fingers before adding to the sauce to release their essential oils and maximize flavor intensity.
Cream Integration Trick 🥛
Add milk or cream off the heat and stir gently to prevent curdling, creating a smooth and silky sauce consistency.
