Seared Pork Cutlets With Green Garlic Salsa Verde image

This recipe amplifies the green in the garlic by stirring it into an herb-filled salsa verde. You can also use regular garlic, though you might want to reduce the amount by half. I also added garlic chives to the mix just because I saw them at the farmers' market and figured a little more garlic flavor could only help. (Regular chives are perfectly fine.) The sauce, with plenty of chopped parsley and mint, is intense, bright and herbal. It makes a bright counterpoint to rich slices of seared pork. I used butterflied slices of loin that cook very quickly, but you can use bone-in chops if you give them a few more minutes on the fire (or pound them first).

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic chives or regular chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped green garlic

1 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
1/8 teaspoon chile flakes
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 eight-ounce boneless pork loin chops, butterflied (1/4-inch thick)
Black pepper, as needed

I'm not a fan of green garlic, so I used regular garlic instead. The salsa verde was still very good.
