What’s the sauce for these creamy pork chops?
We’ve created an easy to make, flavorful sauce that’s dairy-free so it’s Paleo and Whole30 friendly. It’s made with cashews, chicken broth, mustard, fish sauce, nutritional yeast and some seasonings. It has a tangy, umami filled flavor that we just know you’ll love. It’s a thick and creamy sauce that pairs perfectly with the pan seared pork chops.
What if I don’t like fish sauce?
We get it, some people don’t like fish sauce. While I might think those people are crazy and don’t know what they are missing, to each his (or her) own. So, if you are looking to eliminate the fish sauce from the creamy sauce here are a few options:
Replace it with coconut aminosUse tamari, soy sauce or liquid aminos (not Paleo or Whole30)Just omit it from the recipe completely. If you omit it, taste the sauce and add more salt if needed. Fish sauce is salty, so you’ll need to add more salt to compensate.
Tips for cooking pork chops
Pork chops are easy to cook, but they are also easy to overcook. If you overcook them, they will become dry and tough. So how do you get them cooked just the right amount?
Adjust the cooking time in the recipe if you have pork chops that are bone in, thinner than one inch or thicker than one inch (see recipe notes).Watch them carefully after flipping. They may only need a couple of minutes after being flipped over (again, depending on the thickness). Use a meat thermometer. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145° Fahrenheit.When in doubt, slice one of the chops open with a knife. If it’s still pink in the middle cook it a little longer until the pink is just turning to white.
