Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove chops and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
  3. Step 3: Return pork chops to the skillet, spoon the honey-Dijon glaze over them, and cook for another minute to coat.
  4. Step 4: In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil (not listed separately) over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add 6 cups chopped mustard greens and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes until wilted but still bright green. Season with a pinch of salt if desired. Serve pork chops with the sautéed greens alongside.
