Pan-Fried Pork Chop with Green Onion Butter & Cheesy Roasted AsparagusPan-Fried Pork Chop with Green Onion Butter & Cheesy Roasted Asparagus — a 30-minute dinner recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 small bunches asparagus

6 cloves garlic

1 small bunch green onions (scallions)

170 g Parmesan cheese

6 pork chops, bone-in

black pepper

butter, unsalted

crushed red pepper

Italian seasoning

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Wash, dry, and snap (or cut) off woody ends of the asparagus. Divide between two baking sheet pans, spread out in an even layer, and season with spices.

Peel and mince garlic. Cut butter into small pieces. Sprinkle both over the asparagus.

Place baking sheets in oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast, stirring halfway through, until asparagus is fork-tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, finely grate Parmesan. Set aside.

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. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside to rest, about 5 minutes. (Reserve skillet with cooking juices for later use.)

Meanwhile, wash, dry, trim and cut green onions crosswise into thin pieces. Set aside.

When the asparagus is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan. Return baking sheets to the oven and continue to roast until cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from oven.

Return skillet (with cooking juices) to medium heat, add more butter, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add green onions and spices; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

To serve, divide pork chops and asparagus between plates. Drizzle green onion butter over the chops and enjoy!
