I saw this in the paper this morning, and it caught my attention. Here is their quote: " Spicy tomato salsa perks up pork chops! This is a one-pot meal that takes only 15 min. to cook. If you keep these ingredients on hand, you won't have to go to the market. This is a great way to spice up leftover meats such as chicken, roast beef, or turkey. Just warm the meat in a skillet and add salsa on top."
(serves 2)
3 cups water
1/4 lb. fresh linguine
1 cup frozen petite peas (I always use Trader Joe's*)
3 t. EVOO, divided
Kosher* salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 lb. boneless pork chops
3/4 cup chunky mild or medium* salad
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf* parsley (optional)
Bring water to boil in a large skillet over high heat. Add pasta and peas. Bring back to a boil for 3 min. Drain and remove to a bowl Toss with 1 t. oil and S&P to taste. Heat remaining 2 t. oil in the same skillet over med.-high heat. Add pork and brown 2 min. Turn pork over and brown another 2 min. Add S&P to taste to the cooked side. Lower heat to med., cover with a lid and cook 5-6 min. A meat thermometer should read 145. Divide linguine between 2 plates. Place pork on the plates and spoon salsa on top. Sprinkle with parsley.
