Creamy Pesto Pork Chop

This comforting meal features a juicy grilled pork chop that's been marinated with toasted garlic, basil, and parsley. It's plated with cauliflower “rice,“ made with spinach, garlic, and lemon zest, for pops of brightness. Spooned over the top is a creamy pesto made extra rich with heavy cream, Parmesan, and pine nuts. On the side are roasted green beans simply tossed with olive oil, sea salt, and garlic.

These two sides are rich, comforting, and full of flavor. Cauliflower florets are steamed and puréed with butter, cream, garlic, and herbs until smooth, then sprinkled with scallions. The broccoli florets are topped with a white cheddar cheese sauce that’s amped up with smoked black pepper and chives.
