Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
12 thin slices sweet or spicy soppressata, cut into thin strips (separate the strips after slicing)
4 center-cut pork loin chops, 1 inch thick
Salt and black pepper
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves stripped from the stem, then finely chopped
1 large head broccoli, tops cut into 1-inch florets, stem peeled of fibrous skin, then cut into bite-size pieces
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (eyeball it)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, a small handful
Crusty bread

Steps:

  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the EVOO, once around the pan. Add the soppressata strips, spreading them evenly in the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until they are crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • While the soppressata is getting crispy, start the pork chops. Preheat a second skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and the rosemary. Add the chops and cook for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Back to the soppressata: remove the crispy soppressata to a paper-towel-lined plate and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat with 1 tablespoon of the EVOO. Add the broccoli florets and the bite-size stem pieces, season them with pepper and just a little salt, spread the broccoli out evenly in the skillet, and try not to stir it for about 2 minutes in order for it to take on a little color. Once it is lightly colored, stir and add half of the garlic and half of the chopped onions. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes, then add 1/2 cup of the chicken stock. Turn the heat down to medium, and continue to cook until the broccoli is nice and tender, about 5 minutes. If the skillet gets dry before the broccoli is tender, add another splash of either the chicken stock or water.
  • Once the pork chops have done their time in the skillet, transfer to a platter and loosely cover with foil. Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO and the remaining garlic and onions. Season with a little salt and pepper. Sauté the onions for 3 to 4 minutes, until they are nice and tender, stirring frequently. Add the balsamic vinegar; cook for about 30 seconds, then add the remaining 1 cup of chicken stock. Bring it up to a bubble and continue to cook for about 2 minutes, or until there is only about 1/2 cup of liquid left in the skillet. Turn the heat off and add the butter and chopped parsley, stirring and shaking the pan until the butter has completely melted.
  • Distribute the broccoli among 4 serving plates and top each serving with a little of the crispy soppressata. Arrange a pork chop on each plate and drizzle it with the balsamic pan gravy. Serve with a big hunk of crunchy bread.

I'm not a big fan of pork chops, but this recipe changed my mind! The pork chops were cooked perfectly and the gravy was incredible. The broccoli was a bit overcooked for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, this is a great recipe
