Pork Chops with Lemon Spinach
Boneless chops covered with a fragrant breading of brown sugar, red pepper, and nutmeg pair perfectly with a mildly tart lemon spinach side. Add more flavor and save time on clean up by using the same pan to cook both the pork chops and the spinach.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and 1/2 cup lemon spinach)
