Pork Chop with Basil-Goat Cheese Butter, Green Beans & Cherry TomatoesPork Chop with Basil-Goat Cheese Butter, Green Beans & Cherry Tomatoes — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 small pkg fresh basil

1 ½ (113 g) logs goat cheese

3 small pkgs grape tomatoes

0.68 kg green beans

1 ½ lemons

6 pork chops, bone-in

1 ½ medium red onions

black pepper

butter, unsalted

Italian seasoning

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Zest lemons into a small bowl (reserve lemons for later use).

Add goat cheese and butter to the bowl with the lemon zest; set aside to soften.

Trim green beans; divide between two baking sheet pans along with the tomatoes.

Peel, halve, and thinly slice onions crosswise into half-moons; add to the baking sheets with the other veggies.

Juice lemons over the veggies and season with spices; toss to combine and spread out in an even layer.

Cut additional butter into small pieces and sprinkle over the veggies; place baking sheets in the oven and roast, tossing once, until veggies are fork-tender, 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add chops and pan-fry until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.

While the chops are cooking, pick basil leaves off the stems, roll up crosswise, and mince; add to the bowl with the softened butter and goat cheese. Use the back of a spoon to mash and combine the basil-goat cheese butter.

To serve, divide pork chops and roasted veggies between plates; top chops with basil-goat cheese butter. Enjoy!
