Pork Chop

Parmesan Polenta

Crispy Pork Belly

Charred Tomato

Local Greens

Tomato Vinaigrette

Method

Pork Chop

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Chops

    Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from heat and let rest.

Parmesan Polenta

  1. 2

    Cook the Polenta

    In a pot, bring water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, stir in Parmesan cheese, butter, and salt until creamy. Keep warm.

Crispy Pork Belly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Score the skin of the pork belly and season with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the pork belly skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 10 minutes until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.

Charred Tomato

  1. 4

    Char the Tomatoes

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Toss Roma tomatoes with olive oil and salt. Grill the tomatoes for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are charred and softened.

Local Greens

  1. 5

    Prepare the Greens

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt to taste. Toss gently to coat.

Tomato Vinaigrette

  1. 6

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together tomato paste, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
