Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Toss radishes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

Step 3

Meanwhile, pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 4

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove pork chops to a plate; cover loosely with foil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, until mushrooms are browned and moisture evaporates.

Step 6

Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Return pork chops and any juices to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, until pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).

Step 9

Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve pork chops with creamy mushroom sauce and roasted radishes on the side.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Always pat the pork chops dry with paper towels before seasoning; this ensures a proper sear and prevents the meat from steaming in the pan. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for the juiciest results.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For variety, you can substitute the radishes with roasted cauliflower or broccoli. If you are looking for a dairy-free option, replace the heavy cream with coconut cream and omit the Parmesan cheese. For extra depth of flavor, add a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan after sautéing the mushrooms.

Serviervorschläge

Garnish the finished dish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve the pork chops nestled in the creamy mushroom sauce with the golden roasted radishes arranged neatly on the side of a rustic plate.

Recipe FAQs

→ What makes these pork chops keto-friendly?

The dish uses low-carb ingredients like radishes instead of potatoes, heavy cream instead of flour-thickened sauces, and avoids all sugar and high-carb additives, totaling only 8g of carbohydrates per serving.

→ Can I use boneless pork chops instead?

Boneless chops work well but cook faster. Reduce cooking time by 2-3 minutes per side and check internal temperature earlier to prevent drying out. Bone-in cuts typically remain more juicy during cooking.

→ What vegetables can substitute for radishes?

Cauliflower florets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or turnips all roast beautifully alongside this dish. Adjust roasting time based on vegetable size—cauliflower may need 5-10 additional minutes.

→ How do I know when the pork is done?

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chop. It should read 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption. The meat will have a slight blush of pink but be fully cooked.

→ Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes, prepare the mushroom sauce separately and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently while stirring, adding a splash of cream if needed to restore consistency. Finish cooking pork chops fresh when serving.

→ What type of mushrooms work best?

Cremini mushrooms offer excellent flavor and meaty texture. White button mushrooms are a mild alternative, while shiitakes or portobellos add deeper umami notes. Avoid delicate wild mushrooms that might disintegrate in the sauce.
