This is a very useful recipe for a day when you want to make a quick & super tasty dish. Nobody will believe it only took 15 minutes to make. It’s great paired up with plain Basmati rice or some pasta.
Serves two.
Ingredients:
- 2 Pork rib chops, about 3/4 inch thick – boneless
- 1teaspoon chopped garlic (more, if wanted)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (or 1 tsp parsley flakes)
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
- 1 teaspoon capers (rinsed)
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Whipping cream or half & half
Method:
- Mix together the garlic, chopped parsley and dill weed. Add the fresh ground pepper. I suggest leaving the salt to the individual.
- Start a frying pan heating. Add the olive oil.
- Place the chops on a platter. Spread some of the herb mix on both sides of the chops. Pat the mix onto the chops so it sticks.
- Place in a medium hot frying pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, till nicely browned and mostly cooked through.
- Add the mushrooms and capers to the frying pan in the last 2 minutes.
- When the chops look done, add the cream and cook for 2-3 minutes till it starts to thicken and brown. Toss in the fresh spinach and stir and serve.
Notes:
The quantity of cream depends on how much sauce you want.
Rib chops are my favourite cut because they remain moist & tender but most cuts can be used.
