Chimichurri Pork Chops



I really love a good green sauce. Cilantro chutney, pesto of various sorts, Caribbean green seasoning,  and of course the fragrant, lovely chimichurri. It's a good way to get some green stuff in your system when you love cheese as much as I do. I love to use it in fajitas, in tacos, spread on turkey sandwiches, added to meatballs (because we all know how much I fucking love meatballs) and even as a dip for veggies and/or crackers.

Chimichurri:

1 1/2 cup parsley
1/2 cup oregano
2 green onions...
3-5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
1 whole lemon, juice
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes!
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt and pepper

Blend herbs, garlic and oil and such until well mixed and liquified. Use half for stuffing, remaining half for a condiment!



Pork chops stuffed with chimichurri:

4 boneless, butterfly cut pork chops
1/4 cup grated cheese (such as asiago, feta, or other hardish cheese)
1/4 cup chimichurri


Pre heat oven to 350 and bake chops for about 30 minutes.
