Steps

To prepare the pork chops with pumpkin cream and taleggio cheese, first prepare the vegetable broth, which will be used to prepare the pumpkin cream. Dedicate then to the pumpkin cream: cut the pumpkin into slices, remove the outer peel, remove the seeds, then reduce the pulp first to strips and then into cubes. Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes too. |

Once the vegetables are cooked, turn off the heat and start blending with an immersion mixer until a smooth and homogeneous cream is obtained. Add a sprinkling of nutmeg and cinnamon and mix everything; at this point your pumpkin cream is ready, so put it aside. |

Take the pork chops and beat them with the meat until they are about 1 cm thick, then chop the sage and rosemary and put them in a non-stick pan with a little oil. Put the pork chops in the pan, season with salt and pepper and let them brown on both sides, turning them occasionally with a pincer so that they cook on both sides. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and keep them warm. |

In the same pot where we cooked the pork chops pour the previously prepared pumpkin cream, add the soy sauce and mix well. Add the chops, cook with the pumpkin cream, then cut the taleggio into slices and place one on each chop. Cook for 1-2 minutes so that the taleggio is melted, sprinkle with thyme leaves, mix well and your pork chops with pumpkin cream and taleggio are ready to be served! |
