This meal should have been especially easy: For the first course there was an entire, quite sturdy, previously-prepared baked pasta. That meant that the entrée could be smaller and lighter than usual. Also, the roasted pork chop process was so familiar to me I could almost have done it blindfolded, that is, if I hadn’t …

lemon pork chop; fennel-roasted carrots; cabbage, juniper
A good December meal. two thick 12-ounce blade pork chops from Flying Pigs Farm, rinsed, thoroughly dried, seasoned with sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper before being seared quickly in a heavy oval enameled cast-iron pan, then half of a large organic Whole Foods Market lemon squeezed over the top (after which the lemon was left in …
lemon-roasted pork chop; braised chestnut; treviso, thyme
It started with two paper baskets of local foraged chestnuts, the very last remaining on the farmer’s table in the Union Square Greenmarket. I had hoped to find some kind of game, or game-ish bird which they might accompany on a cool autumn evening, but then we were away for 5 days, and since my …
lemon mangalitsa pork, laetiporus; garlic-roasted sweets
I thought this meal was pretty special all the way around. There were certainly at least a couple exotic elements, but everything was quite local. I had been really looking forward to preparing these very special chops. They turned out to be even more delicious than I had expected, which is saying a lot, after …
lemon pork chop; beet/lettuce/horseradish salad; cheese
Look, no tomatoes! They’ve been a part of virtually every meal this month, and the last, but it didn’t occur to me to include them last night. I was thinking we’d have a cheese course later, and I wanted to keep the entrée down to 2 elements; I knew there would be some color even …
lemon pork chop; golden beets on lettuce bed, horseradish
The pork chop was as superb as it looks, as was the vegetable, which was half root and half green, and both roasted and fresh. The root, which lay on a few leaves of a purple lettuce, amounted to segments of a single beet, but it was a very special, new orange-yellow mild and sweet …
lemon pork chop with mandarin sage; tomatoes; broccolini
I’m not a fan of sweets, but when the attribute shows up, unbidden, in your savory dinner, especially in every part of it, I can take the salute. Otherwise this meal wasn’t much different than many others I’ve prepared using an extremely easy recipe for pork chops I’ve been working with for years [copied in …
lemon-roasted pork chop; tomato; cress; sunchoke ‘chips’
It wasn’t a fish day at the market, and it wasn’t even a market day. In fact I hadn’t been to the Greenmarket in 4 days, so I wouldn’t have had much to work with if I had wanted to put together a pasta or egg dish. Then I realized that it was probably time …
smoked pork chops, scallion; braised cabbage; potatoes
For a number of reasons, both of cause and effect, it wasn’t quite a German meal, but it had its pretensions. a small amount of a mix of lard and duck fat, stained, which had been kept in the freezer after 2 previous meals, heated over a low flame inside a heavy vintage oval tin-lined copper pan, …
pork chop with myrtle; Brussels sprouts; roast sweet potato
I figured pork chops would be an excellent side for the sweet potatoes I had been looking forward to, but the chops from Flying Pigs Farm are always so good they weren’t going to be incidental to anything. Also, as excited as I was about the potatoes, I was equally enthusiastic about using myrtle on the pork for the …
