Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop the potatoes into quarters. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.

2

Sear the Pork Chops

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they're golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3

Prepare the Port Wine Reduction

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Pour in the port wine and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it reduce by half.

4

Assemble the Dish

Return the pork chops to the skillet and place a slice of prosciutto and provolone on each chop. Cover the skillet and let them cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pork is cooked through.

5

Roast the Almonds

While the pork chops are cooking, spread the almonds on a separate baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until they are golden and fragrant.

6

Serve

Serve the pork chops on a plate, drizzled with the port wine reduction, alongside the roasted potatoes and topped with roasted almonds and freshly chopped parsley.
