Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce
Did you know that the top 3 most consumed proteins worldwide 🌏 are chicken, pork and beef? I think eggs should be squeezed in there too. Interestingly enough, pork is the most eaten meat… I would think that chicken would be the frontrunner.
I have a lot of pork recipes on the website like Ham & Asparagus Crêpes with Cheese Sauce, Asian Pork Tenderloin, Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Sauce, Pizza Dip, Pork Vindaloo, Denver Omelet, and hundreds 💯 more. Here’s another one to add to this extensive list… Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce!
This 30-minute recipe is simply amazing! It’s super easy to make with delicious results! Of course, the sauce is what makes this dish! It has fresh ingredients and nice seasonings along with heavy cream, chicken broth and white wine. Although it’s with pork loin chops, chicken 🐓 is a tasty alternative!
This recipe all started because David is not a big fan of spinach. I got it! It’s not for everyone but it’s a shame as this leafy green vegetable has incredible health benefits. It’s good for skin, hair, bones 🦴, plus it contains antioxidants, is a good source of fiber along with vitamins, and much more…
To integrate this vegetable 🍃 more often into our menu, I created this Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce. There are also other dishes that I have come up with like Spinach & Ricotta Scrambled Eggs, Pumpernickel Spinach Dip, Creamy Tuscan Chicken, Torta Pasqualina, Pear Pomegranate Blue Cheese Salad, etc.
There’s a beautiful selection of seasonings that goes in. The meat 🐖 is generously seasoned with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. For the sauce, I only add my Herbes de Provence and a little bit of red pepper flakes giving enough oomph to wrap the dish up nicely!
If you have picky eaters when it comes to this leafy green vegetable, this Pork Loin Chops in Creamy Spinach Sauce is a great one to make! Served with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes, this 30-minute ⏰ recipe is ideal for weeknight dinners
