(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • ⅗ oz. Butter
  • 1 Sage
  • 1 Broccoli Crown
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Boneless Pork Chops
  • 1/2 oz. Hazelnut Pieces
  • 1/2 oz. Honey

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Set butter on counter to soften. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.

  2. Fry the Sage

  3. Line a plate with a paper towel. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add half the sage (reserve remaining for garnish) to hot pan and stir constantly until leaves are crispy and slightly darker in color, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to towel-lined plate. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. Cut broccoli into large bite-sized florets. Mince garlic. Stem and mince remaining sage. Pat pork chops dry, and season both sides with ½ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Place broccoli, hazelnuts, and garlic on prepared baking sheet. Toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper and spread into a single layer. Roast until browned and fork-tender, 10-12 minutes. While broccoli roasts, sear pork chops.

  5. Return pan used to crisp sage to medium-high heat. Add pork chops to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Flip chops and remove pan from burner.

  6. Place pan with pork chops in oven and roast until chops are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 6-8 minutes. Carefully, remove pork from pan and rest 1-2 minutes. While chops rest, make butter.

  7. Crumble fried sage into a mixing bowl. Combine with softened butter, honey, and a pinch of pepper.

  8. Place broccoli on a plate. Add pork chop and garnish with a dollop of sage-honey butter. Garnish with minced sage.
