A pesto sauce is actually an Italian recipe, but it's green so I guess this will do on this joyous occasion...hehehe...
This is a really wonderful meal. Juicy and tender pork chops with a classic taste ;-)
Ingredients:
2-3 lbs. of Pork Chops, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper
Pesto Sauce
Pesto Sauce:
3 cloves garlic
1 large bunch Basil leaves (about 2 cups)
1/3 cup pine nuts
salt
fresh ground, black pepper
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Combine all of the above ingredients in a food processor. If you are feeling energized, you can use a mortar and peste. Store in an air tight container. Refrigerate for future uses. Freezes well. Can be used in different types of pasta, flavoring soups & meats or with just fresh mozzarella and tomato salad!
Directions:
Lightly seasoned pork chops with salt and pepper. Marinate in pesto sauce for a few hours or overnight. Heat skillet with EVOO and a pat of butter. Fry pork chops for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Serve with steamed broccoli (steam for 8 minutes...the perfect time!). You can also serve it with scalloped or baked potatoes ;-)
