Pork Cutlets with Smothered Parmesan Green Beans
March 3, 2009 in pork
Pork is the one meat that I could eat everyday and never get sick of it. Unfortunately for me, pork is EXPENSIVE around here. I’m consider myself lucky if I can find a pork loin for under $4 a pound. Last week I was lucky enough to find both bone-in and boneless pork chops on crazy sale so I stocked up. Expect lots of pork recipes soon.
I pulled this recipe out of Gourmet just a few nights ago and I’m not even sure why it stood out to me. It’s just a pan fried pork chop and parmesan green beans but together… together they are amazing. I cooked some brown rice to go with everything and the green bean sauce was even good on it.
