Seared Pork Chops With Tomatoes

INGREDIENTS

• 4 pork chops
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tomatoes, sliced or diced
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. maple syrup
• 1 tbsp. chopped dill
• ¾ to 1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cooked
• Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, brown the pork chops in the oil for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.
2. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and maple syrup. Continue cooking until the tomatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Add the dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the chops to the skillet to heat through and coat thoroughly with the sauce.
3. Place the meat on serving plates, garnish with a few wilted tomatoes and serve with asparagus.
