Description

Zesty lemon and garlic pork chops with crisp, gently cooked asparagus. An easy weeknight dinner!

 


Ingredients

  •     2 pork chops

  •     2 cloves garlic
  •     1 small bunch thin asparagus spears (roughly 6oz)
  •     2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat water in a pan, a steamer or prepare an instant pot to steam the asparagus.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium high heat.
  3. Once hot, add the garlic and pork chops. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side.
