Comfort food in July because sometimes you just need it. This Creamy Stove Top Pork & Zucchini is worth standing over the stove for, even in July. With tender pork loin chops topped off with a creamy & flavoursome sauce, it is sure to be a winner whatever the season.
Okay, so despite being July and hot as you know what, comfort food was in order. Why? Because sometimes you just need to push that barbecue aside in light of something with a bit of cream and comfort.
It’s been a busy and hectic few days and we’re only just into summer. I’m already starting to daydream of short days, dark clouds and warming dishes. That the introvert in me talking….hahaha. But seriously, I’m a fall winter girl all the way!
So with my longing for cooler temps, I made this Creamy Stove Top Pork & Zucchini. It was great. I’m already marking it down for winter. I enjoyed it, despite the heat. But something tells me it will be more welcomed on one of those dark dreary days that I’m longing for.
This dish, along with the Pork Medallions in a Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce, and Simmered Pork Sirloin Pot Roast are top top of the list for fall!
Now let’s take a look at the pork.
Notes about the Creamy Stove Top pork & Zucchini
First off all, this was eaten up by everyone at the table. And that means, success. The combination of white wine, Dijon mustard and cooking cream are what give the flavour and it really is delicious.
- I used quite thin cut pork, so if your pork is thick, adjust cooking time accordingly.
- The zucchini I used in this recipe was about a medium size not too big. But you can probably add as much as you like.
- When cooking the vegetables, if they start to stick to the pan, just add a little bit of water to prevent this from happening. You could even splash in a little cooking wine if you prefer.
- To save time, cook the pork while the vegetable dish is finishing off . This will cut your cooking time by almost 10 minutes and worth doing.
Apart from that, easy recipe as usual. Serve this with my Perfect Roast Potatoes for a complete dinner.
Happy cooking friends and enjoy what’s on your doorstep.
