How to Make Almond Crusted Orange Mustard Pork Chops

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup ground almonds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon water.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Season 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) with salt and pepper.
  6. Dip each pork chop in the egg wash, then dredge thoroughly in the almond mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. While pork chops are searing, finely chop 1/2 cup onion and 2 cloves garlic.
  9. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside. Add onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon honey.
  11. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Pour the orange mustard sauce over the chops.
  12. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  13. Garnish with 1/4 cup mandarin orange segments and fresh parsley before serving.
