One Pot Tuscan Style Garlic Herb Pork Chops #SundaySupper

Who likes beans?   I was always a huge fan of green beans as a kid but I really didn't like many other types.  However, as I got older I realized how delicious beans were and started putting them in a lot of different dishes.   This week Sunday Supper is sharing all of our Beantastic recipes!

Pork chop night is never a favorite at our house.  I have a hard time figuring out what to do with pork chops.   I'm not sure why as I have a ton of ideas for other types of meat.   I usually go for just pan frying the pork chops or baking them in the oven.  So when I found a recipe for pork chops cooked with spinach and beans, basically a one pot meal, I was willing to try it.

The pork chops are sauteed in a pan with garlic and herbs until they are cooked through.   Then they are removed to a plate while the beans and spinach are cooked.  After the vegetables are cooked the pork chops are returned to the pan and everything is cooked together until hot.

I really ended up liking these pork chops.  They had a great herb flavor and the balsamic vinegar adds a ton of flavor.  The beans and spinach are refreshing in a bright lemon sauce.   The meal pairs wonderfully together and is great served with a bit of crusty bread.
