I made these earlier in the week and they were tasty and fast! I liked how light the flavors were on the pork (lemony, but not overly). They took a little while longer to broil than the recipe stated. I served with the recommended salad, but I used couscous instead of bulgur. I'd make these again!
Pork Chops Oreganata
CL Comments: While the pork marinates, prepare a warm bulgur salad. Combine 3 cups hot cooked bulgur and 5 ounces baby spinach; cover and let stand 15 minutes or until spinach wilts. Stir in 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled feta cheese.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chop)
