Monday Menu: Lemon-Nut Pork Chops

And we are back. I took last week off because I had some deadlines to meet, including finalizing the cover for Full Sail.  Stay tuned for a sneak peak soon.

I hadn’t made this recipe in quite a while and had forgotten what a good combination butter, lemon and in this case, pecans are with pork. But I had some misfit lemons I bought at the store that I needed to use up and lots of pecans, so I searched through my recipes and this one popped up.

Lemon-Nut Pork Chops

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (approx. 1/2 to 3/4” thick)
  • ½ tsp crushed garlic
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup finely chopped pecans or hazelnuts (the finer the grind, the better this works, if you have a coffee grinder that’s best)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 lemon, quartered
