Pan-Fried Pork Chop with Rosemary Potatoes and Steamed Broccoli

Ingredients

  • Fingerling potatoes
  • Onion, cut into 1″ pieces
  • Bell Pepper cut into 1″ pieces
  • Fresh rosemary
  • Chopped Garlic
  • Fresh head of broccoli
  • Center-cut boneless pork chops
  • Dry rub of your choice. (I used Pepper Plant Dry Rub)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt, Pepper etc.

Method

Lubricate a foil pan with olive oil to prevent sticking. Add the potatoes, onion, bell pepper, rosemary and garlic. Cover the pan with foil and place it on a grill, close to the heat. Allow 30-45 minutes to cook, depending on the heat and size of the potatoes.

While the vegetables are cooking, apply the dry rub to the pork chops. Fry them over a medium heat in a well oiled skillet and try not to turn them too often, but keep them from burning or sticking. Depending on thickness, these could take 5-10 minutes per side. I’d advise using a meat thermometer to check that internal temperature reaches a safe 145 degrees before serving.

Steam the broccoli for 3-5 minutes, adding salt if desired. And yes, I have a vegetable steamer in my camp gear!  It tucks neatly inside my saucepan and is invaluable for quick,healthy cooking. The broccoli can be steamed using  a regular camp stove or a burner in your RV.

As always, serve with a great wine and better company.
