So simple, yet delicious!

Sage Pork Chops

serves 4

Ingredients

4 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 medium shallot, minced

1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2 cup dry white wine

Directions

Season pork generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium; add pork. Cook until browned and opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Make sauce: Add shallot to skillet; cook over medium, stirring until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sage, thyme, and wine. Simmer until sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup, 2 to 3 minutes; stir in any accumulated juices from plate with meat. Transfer chops to plates, drizzle with sauce, and serve with Parmesan Rice.

I served them, per Jenny’s suggestion, with steamed carrots and apple sauce. Next time around we’ll also have rolls…or roasted potatoes. Yum!

Thank you, Jenny!

And, again Breen deserves another shout out for this delicious salsa recipe. It was a hit! And, I went to the grocery today to get the necessary ingredients to make more for my sister (who comes to town Thursday! ). I doubled the recipe and plan to triple it for this weekend. It’s so delicious you’ll want a bunch. Trust me.

1 large tomato diced

1/2 medium onion diced

1 jalapeno OR 1-2 sorreno peppers diced

Rotel with cilantro and lime juice  (couldn’t find this so I just used fresh cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice …. money!)

1 small can of diced green chiles

1 TBS garlic powder (I used loads more)

1 TBS salt

dash of pepper

Mix above ingredients together in a food processor until well blended.

Happy Hump-Day!
