Pork Chop Dinner for Two

If you are a Michigan resident and you like fresh meat from animals raised on a family farm, give John Henry’s a try. No, I am not sponsored by them. However, I’ve been a customer for quite some time and have enjoyed every single order from their farm. I usually order a bundle and exhaust every piece of everything; including the bones.
These pork chops were delivered fresh, last week. Since I was going out of town, I had to freeze them. But that didn’t take away from their deliciousness at Sunday’s supper.
This is such a simple recipe with great fresh flavors. The asparagus and apple mix make a great side for the chop.
It is also nice to have a husband who enjoys grilling. After all, two are better than one for dinner prep.

  1. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and oregano flakes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Overnight is perfect too.

  3. Grill on a charcoal grill if possible, about 8-10 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the pork chop). Let rest for a a few minutes before serving.
  4. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil.
  5. In the meantime, clean the asparagus and snap off the woody ends.
  6. Core the apples and slice them and also thinly slice the onion.
  7. Place the onions in the saute pan and cook until translucent.
  8. Add the asparagus and the apples.
  9. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and lemon juice to taste.
  10. Cover the pan and let cook for 5-7 minutes or until desired crunchiness is reached for the asparagus.
  11. Serve and enjoy!

*Note: This dish would be great with a glass of red or white wine.
