Recipe by Judy Kim
Simple seared pork and couscous get a flavor boost from garlicky chimichurri.
Ingredients
1 package plain Israeli couscous
16 oz. fresh peas
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 c. mixed dry spinach and arugula
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 c. Chopped red onion
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. lemon zest
1 tsp. lemon juice
extra-virgin olive oil
4 bone-in pork chops, 1" thick
1/4 c. fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
In a medium pot, prepare couscous according to package instructions. Add fresh peas for last 2 minutes of cooking time. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Turn off heat and cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in the bowl of a food processor add greens, garlic, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup olive oil. Pulse until finely chopped (sauce should have some texture). Scrape side of bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Set aside in a small bowl.
Preheat a large cast iron pan over high heat. Pat each pork chop dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to the pan and add two pork chops. Sear on high for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the pork chops to rest; cook remaining pork chops.
Serve pork chops with spoonful of chimichurri and side of peas and couscous. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley.
