Preparation

Step 1

Make gremolata by processing cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the garlic, and next 3 ingredients in a food processor until coarsely pureed; set aside.

Sprinkle pork chops with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops, and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Turn chops; spoon gremolata evenly over chops. Cook 7 to 8 more minutes or until desired degree of doneness.

Notes

Note: This mixture is traditionally made with parsley and served with hearty meat dishes. Here, cilantro replaces parsley as a refreshing update. Try gremolata with vegetables, too.
