Market Fresh - Pork Chops, Carrots & Green Beans


Ah, today we found our market. It was an amazing array of some of the freshest fruits, vegetables, seafood & meat that I have ever seen. We were somewhat overwhelmed with the selection , but did our best to overcome that feeling & grab only what we could eat today - tomorrow we shop again. We decided on some delicious pork chops, carrots & green beans - augmented with some thyme & shallots. To prepare this simple dish we roasted the carrots & beans at 450° for about 10 minutes. The chops were sauteed over medium high heat with olive oil, butter, thyme & shallots for about 5 minutes per side.

This meal was served along side a wonderful 2006 Chinon from Domaine des Petites Roches.
