Pork chops à la Annette


So, as I previously mentioned, I'm really not a pork chops fan. Because we're raising pigs and because we have about a ton of pork chops in the freezer, I need to learn to love them.

My friend Annette gave me this easy to make and absolutely delicious recipe. Here's what you need:

- 1 pork chop/pers
- 2-3 tbsp of pesto/pork chops *
- Herbes, whichever you like, I used Rosemary, Thyme and herbes de provence
- Salt/Pepper

*Here's a link to another post about a pesto recipe I did. Easy and delicious: http://ballycanoelowelandfarm.blogspot.ca/2016/01/pesto-more-pesto-please.html?m=1)
 
First, sprinkle your spices on each side of the chops and then coat your pork chops with pesto and grill them in a pan for about 3-4 minutes/side in oil.


Once they are grilled, take a cooking plate and pour some apple cider vinegar in it (enough to cover the bottom of the plate, about 1-2 millimetres). Put your chops in it and cover with veggies. I used steamed carrots and potatoes and I sprinkle more spices on top of the veggies and salt & pepper.

Put your plate in the oven at 400° for about 20-30 minutes depending on the thickness of your chops.


While your pork is in the oven, cook some rice and then, voilà! You have a delicious meal in you plate in no time! I must admit that since I've made this recipe, I don't think I'll ever want to eat my chops another way!!! Thanks Annette!
