Make
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with some oil and then place pork chops on heated oil. Sear on each side for ~3 minutes. For thin pork chops, this should be enough heat to cook them through. If you’re using thicker pork chops, lower heat and cover with a piece of foil until pork reaches 145F(or 63C) degrees. When done, let pork rest for ~5 minutes before slicing.
- Reheat leftover butternut squash soup.
- Slice pork chops. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with pear and celery slaw. Enjoy with butternut squash soup on the side, with crushed walnuts sprinkled on top of soup. If the pork is dry in any way, use your soup as a ‘sauce.’
