Excellent for weeknight or for guests! Outstanding sauce and quick and easy to make. I reduced the amount of maple a bit, but other than that it is perfect.
Pork Chops with Maple Mustard Glaze
Maple syrup makes a fine stand-in for honey or sugar in sauces. Here, it adds a rich, sweet note to herbed mustard sauce. This sauce goes nicely with sautéed chicken breasts as well.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and about 1 tablespoon sauce)
