Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a succulent pork chop, its surface beautifully browned and boasting a symphony of savory flavors. This recipe is designed to deliver just that – a satisfying and flavorful main course perfect for a hearty meal. We begin with generous cuts of pork, chosen for their rich marbling and inherent tenderness, ensuring each bite is a delightful experience.

These chops are a celebration of simple, wholesome ingredients, prepared in a way that maximizes both flavor and nutritional value. The star of the show is the pan sauce, a luscious concoction born from the searing of the pork. Butter, melted to a golden hue, creates a rich base for the chops to develop their crust.

A splash of dry white wine, introduced to the pan, lifts the browned fond from the bottom, creating depth and complexity. Fresh rosemary sprigs, steeped in the simmering sauce, infuse the dish with their fragrant, woodsy essence. The resulting sauce is a harmonious blend of richness, acidity, and herbal notes – a perfect complement to the savory pork.

Alongside the pork, we have vibrant kale, sautéed to tender perfection. The kale's slightly bitter edge is beautifully balanced by the richness of butter, creating a side dish that is both nutritious and delicious. The kale provides a welcome textural contrast to the tender pork, adding a pleasant chewiness that enhances the overall dining experience.

Its earthy flavor profile melds seamlessly with the savory notes of the pork and rosemary-infused sauce, creating a cohesive and satisfying meal. The pork chops are cooked until they reach an internal temperature that ensures both safety and succulence. The result is a tender, juicy chop with a beautifully browned exterior and a flavor that lingers long after the last bite.

Spoon the pan sauce generously over the pork and kale, allowing the flavors to meld and mingle. Each element of this dish is carefully considered, from the selection of the pork to the preparation of the sauce and the sautéing of the kale. It’s a meal designed to nourish and delight, offering a satisfying combination of flavors, textures, and aromas.

A true celebration of simple ingredients prepared with care.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 350 F. Wash and destem the kale. Place the kale in a salad spinner and dry the leaves well. Slice the kale into thin strips.
    2.
    Season the pork chops on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Preheat a large nonstick, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the butter and then swirl the pan. Add the pork chops and allow them to cook on the first side until nicely browned. You may need to turn the heat down to medium to let the chops get a good sear. A good sear can take several minutes to develop. Be sure not to constantly peek at the bottom of the chops (you can look once, usually without ruining the sear).
    3.
    Flip the chops once seared. The pork chops should have formed a nice brown crust.
    4.
    Add in the white wine and a sprig of rosemary.
    5.
    Tilt the pan and baste the top of the chops with the juices in the pan. Place the pan into the oven and allow the chops to cook until they reach an internal temperature of 145 F. Feel free to check them every few minutes.
    6.
    In the meantime, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the remaining butter, swirl the pan and add the kale leaves. Cook until kale is wilted. Add in ⅛ tsp kosher salt—taste and season with more salt as desired.
    7.
    Serve the fully cooked pork chops alongside the buttered sauteed kale and whole olives. Add a hard-boiled egg sliced in half also sprinkled with a little salt and pepper.
