Simple Is Good

Sometimes you just need to make yourself a meal that looks like it came from a restaurant, but tastes like comfort. I've been working so much, and running around all the time that today I decided I needed something healthy and beautiful. This is an incredibly easy meal. This evening I am serving....Pan Seared Pork Chops with a side of Garlic Lemon Sautéed Kale, and Mini Patty Pan Suash in Dill and Butter.

EQUIPMENT
Cast Iron Skillet
Large Sauté Pan
Sm. Sauté Pan
Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
Wooden Spoons

INGREDIENTS
Boneless Pork Chops
Mini Patty Pan Squash
Kale
Fresh Dill
3 Garlic Cloves
Salt
Pepper
Lemon
Olive Oil
Unsalted Butter


PORK CHOPS
Boneless Chops
Salt
Pepper

In a cast iron skillet melt butter and olive oil together. While that's warming season chops with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat 15-20 minutes, flipping once or twice to seer.




SAUTÉED KALE
Olive oil
Fresh Chopped Kale
Garlic, roughly chopped
Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
Lemon juice

In a large pan heat oil over medium way. Add kale and stir occasionally, when kale begins to wilt add garlic, salt and pepper. When almost completely cooked add a squeeze of lemon.


PATTY PAN SQUASH
Squash, sliced
Salt
Fresh Chopped Dill
Unsalted Butter
Olive Oil

In small pan over medium-low heat cook squash in butter and oil. Add salt and pepper. When squash is almost cooked add fresh dill, so as to have the fresh flavor without over cooking it.



Plate everything together and enjoy. I put a dollop of my homemade apple butter on my chop.
