Description

This pork is pan-seared to perfection, juicy on the inside and crispy on the inside. It gets finished off with a subtly sweet rosemary and spinach pesto that has a nutty flavor from the addition of walnut oil and walnuts, yet is balanced with the salt from the Parmesan cheese. Perfect for dinner with a glass of wine!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE PESTO:
  • 1 bunch Fresh Rosemary
  • 1 bunch Fresh Spinach
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • ½ cups Raw Walnuts
  • ¼ cups Walnut Oil
  • ½ cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • FOR THE PORK:
  • 2 pieces (about 1/2 Lb. Each) Boneless Pork Chops Or Steaks
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, For Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra-virgin Olive Oil, For Searing

Preparation

For the pesto:
1. Place the rosemary, spinach, garlic, and walnuts into a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
2. With the processor running, slowly stream in the walnut oil until smooth.
3. Fold in the Parmesan cheese, taste, and season as needed with salt and pepper.

For the pork:
1. To make the pork, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Season both sides of each pork steak with salt and pepper. Coat the pan with oil.
2. Add the pork to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on both sides.
3. Let rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
4. Spoon the pesto on top!
