Method
Pork Chops
- Before cooking, season the chops with salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil.
- Once hot, place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they achieve a golden brown crust
- To enhance the dish, consider basting the pork with the cooking juices during the last minute of cooking to infuse further flavor
Beets & Carrots
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
- While the oven heats, wash and peel the beets and carrots. Cut them into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and herbs like thyme or rosemary
- Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized at the edges
Mushrooms & Onions
- In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat
- Add thinly sliced onions, stirring frequently until they become translucent
- Add the sliced mushrooms, continuing to sauté until they’re golden brown and any released moisture has evaporated
- Finish by adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for an added depth of flavor
Green Salad
- To assemble the salad, combine a variety of fresh mixed greens in a large bowl. A blend of arugula, spinach, kale, and lettuce works beautifully
- Drizzle with high-quality olive oil and a splash of vinegar, tossing gently to combine
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition
