Hungry T's Eating Journal

Sunday, Dec 4 - Compromise

SF and I eat differently. She likes the healthy stuff, I like the tasty stuff. Tonight, we compromise. I make sage/panko/dijon encrusted pork chops and she makes beans and greens.

For the chops, I chop the garlic and sage, and measure out all the ingredients. Saute panko with garlic, sage, salt, pepper, and olive oil until golden brown. Remove from heat. Sear pork on both sides. Put a little dijon mustard on top of the pork, sprinkle a generous amt. of the panko mix on top, and put into the oven until done. Out to rest, and they are ready.

SF washes and cuts of kale and collards, sautes in olive oil, adds some black beans, and splashes a little bit of (bottled) lemon juice near the end of cooking. I bought fresh lemons, but she likes this particular bottling of lemon juice, and refuses to use the fresh stuff. Oh well.

The meal was great. Filling, tasty, and nutritious.

Oh, and the wine. 2001 Brickhouse Gamay Noir. Still vibrant, fresh, and tasty. SF was impressed by Doug Tunnell's organic growing practices.
