Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic chives or regular chives
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped green garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more as needed
• 1/8 teaspoon chile flakes
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 4 8-ounce pork chops, (1/4-inch thick)
• Black pepper, as needed

​

Preparation1. Combine the herbs, garlic, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and chile flakes. Stir in 1/2 cup oil to make a salsa verde.
2. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium-high. Add the pork and cook without moving, 3 minutes. Flip and cook until meat is just cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Let rest 5 minutes before serving, topped with salsa verde.
