Recipe Ingredients:

4 pork chops (all visible fat trimmed, roughly 10 oz each), bone-in

4 bunches broccoli rabe

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Preparation:

Season pork chops with salt and pepper and grill on high heat, about 5 minutes per side.
In a saucepan, bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil. Prepare broccoli rabe by removing any tough exterior leaves (this is optional) and trimming thick stalk bottoms. When water comes to a boil, put broccoli rabe into water and blanch (1 to 2 minutes). Remove from heat and cut broccoli into shorter segments.

In a sauté pan on medium heat, add olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic until just golden brown and add broccoli. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat if necessary so that garlic doesn’t burn.

To serve, place a pork chop and serving of broccoli rabe on plate. For a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the broccoli.
