and Lemon Broccolini
Truly aromatic and intense flavor in the rub for these chops. Outstanding. All plates were cleaned. I am not usually a fan of mashed potatoes unless they have the flavor that these do. No need for gravy although a bite of pork with a swipe of potatoes is necessary at least once. I used a regular "smoked" paprika instead of the HOT variety which you can create by adding 1/4 tsp ground red pepper to 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. I also opted for broccoli instead of broccolini because Fred Meyer doesn't have a very diverse produce section... maybe next time.
*For the lemon broccoli/ni: Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add 2 bunches broccoli/ni, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper; saute 5 minutes or until crisp tender. Remove from heat; stir in 1 tsp. grated lemon rind.*
