Pork Chops

Asparagus

Mexican Rice

Saladeo with Garlic & Lime Dressing

Method

Pork Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chipotle Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a glaze.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork Chops

    Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Brush the chipotle glaze over the pork chops during the last 2 minutes of cooking, ensuring they are well coated.

Asparagus

  1. 4

    Prepare the Asparagus

    While the pork chops are cooking, trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 5

    Cook the Asparagus

    In a separate skillet, add the asparagus over medium heat and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Mexican Rice

  1. 6

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the long-grain rice, chicken broth, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed.

Saladeo with Garlic & Lime Dressing

  1. 7

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with the garlic and lime dressing and toss gently to combine.
