MEMBERS ONLY

Ingredients

• 2 pork rib chops, cut ¾ inch thick
• 2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning, crushed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
• 3 cups cauliflower florets
• 1 small onion, cut into wedges
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Snipped fresh basil, flat-leaf parsley and/or chives (optional)

Directions

1. Trim fat from meat. In a small bowl, stir together thyme, ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper; sprinkle evenly on both sides of each chop. Set chops aside.
2. Coat a very large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and onion; cook and stir about 5 minutes or until almost tender. Push cauliflower and onion to the edge of the pan and remove from heat. Add oil to the pan and arrange the seasoned chops in a single layer in the middle. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until pork chops are done (160°F) and vegetables are tender, turning chops to brown evenly and stirring the vegetable mixture often. Transfer chops and vegetable mixture to dinner plates. If desired, sprinkle with additional herbs.
