Pork Chops with Souithern-Style Greens

Categories: Pork main dish

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 bunch turnip greens
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 tsp. sugar
• Hot sauce, to taste
• 1 Tsp. vegetable oil
• 2 bone-in pork chops
• Coarse salt and cracked black pepper

Directions

1. Cook bacon in a saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon pieces to paper towels to drain.
2. Remove all but 1 Tbsp. of the bacon fat from the saucepan. Add the onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in greens and broth. Bring to simmer and cook until greens are tender, 10 minutes. Season with sugar and hot sauce. Keep warm.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast- iron skillet. Season chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Cook chops until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. The internal temperature should read 145 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Let rest 3 to 5 minutes. Serve chops with the greens, with bacon crumbled over.
