Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch kale, ribs and stems removed, chopped
  • 2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder

Method

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil; heat until melted. Add pork chops; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add shallot and garlic; cook until tender, about 1 minute. Toss in kale, mushrooms, onion, and red bell pepper; cover and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes.
  • Pour chicken broth and Dijon mustard into the saucepan. Bring to a high simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in arrowroot; cook until broth is reduced by half and sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Divide between 2 pasta bowls.
