A Simple Elegant Meal

There are days when I do not want to slave over a hot stove but want a truly satisfying meal. Everyone has favorites that can be pulled together in a pinch. Here is one of mine.

Herb Roasted Pork Chops, Risotto, Spring Mix with pomegranate vinagarette.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, put in cracked black pepper, rosemary and a little adobo seasoning.
Cover the prk chops and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes and test for doneness. If needed, bake until the juice from the center of the pork chops run clear.

White the oven is heating start the risotto. I use a prepacked risotto mix. It will take about 25 minutes total.

Spring Mix is found in the packaged salad section of your grocery store. There are about 20 different kinds of lettuce in spring mix so I do not get bored with the taste.

Salad dressing is one of those things that folks have very strong opinions on. This is one I have in the fridge right now so I use it. Please dress your salad with what floats your boat.
