INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Chop
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1 tsp Olive Oil (for pork chop)
1/2 tsp Olive Oil (for rice)
1 clove Garlic
8 spears Asparagus
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F for roasting the asparagus.
Pat the pork chop dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chop on each side for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Reduce heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the cooked brown rice. In a separate pan, heat 1/2 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and sauté briefly until fragrant. Stir the garlic into the warm brown rice.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until tender.
Plate the pork chop alongside a serving of garlic brown rice and roasted asparagus. Serve immediately.
