Wednesday night...

Wednesday means Spicks and Specks, so I felt it necessary to keep with the music theme - Ty, Adam and I enjoyed a Weezer-inspired meal of Pork and Beans. Delish!

Roast pork steaks with Tomatoes and Pine nuts
[served 3 of us, add another chop for 4]

3 pork chops
250g punnet cherry/grape tomatoes
1 salad [purple] onion, in large chunks
generous handful of pine nuts
and another handful of torn basil
green beans
have a bottle of good balsamic and olive oil handy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat the over to 180°

Cut your tomatoes in half - put in a bowl with a decent slosh of balsamic and some salt and pepper. Let sit while you organise the pork.

Heat a bit of oil in a large frypan over medium heat and cook the chops for about 2mins on either side to brown. Transfer to a large roasting pan and scatter over tomatoes, pine nuts and basil - put the onion about the pan. Slosh over a bit more balsamic and roast for about 15mins until pork is tender...

Spoon the pork, tomatoes and onions onto 3 warm plates. Serve drizzled with a little extra olive oil and some steamed beans.
