First up, let’s feast our eyes on some thick, juicy chops that are just begging for a flavor upgrade! Look at this beauty:
Now, to make these chops sing, we’re going to add a colorful medley of ingredients that’ll make your taste buds dance. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 2 thick pork chops
- 1 cup green peppers, diced
- 1 cup poblano peppers, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (your choice: thyme, oregano, basil)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by seasoning those thick chops with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy; give them a good rub!
- Heat up the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s nice and hot, place the chops in the pan. Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
- Cook the chops for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach a golden brown perfection. If you’re feeling fancy, add a splash of wine for some extra flavor.
- While the chops are sizzling, toss those vibrant green and poblano peppers into another pan. Sauté them until they’re soft and aromatic, about 4-5 minutes. Add in the scallions and herbs and let everything mingle!
- Once the chops are cooked through (make sure they hit that magical meat thermometer point of 145°F!), top them with the sautéed pepper mixture. Let them sit for a minute to soak in all that flavor goodness.
And there you have it! A dish that’s not only easy to make, but will also impress your guests or anyone lucky enough to sit at your dinner table. Serve it up with some sides and watch the compliments roll in—just be ready to share your secret ingredient: love (and maybe a bit of herb magic)! Enjoy!
