Another week on my own. I think I worked up something pretty good though! Pretty basic – good ole Pork Chops, with acorn squash and onions. The fun part is the balsamic vinegar and fig sauce for the top of the pork chop which was made using figs from our wee little fig tree! We just planted the little thing this spring and it’s already gifted us with a few figs. Not bad for its first year! The balsamic vinegar is obviously not local, but I needed something to go with the three little figs I had to extend them a little. I was just so excited to finally have them. The pork was pan seared in our cast iron pan and allowed to sit in the pan until it reached the proper temperature. The onions and squash were also roasted up in a pan while the pork cooked. Pretty easy!
Pork Chops with Squash:
Pork Chops – Countrytime Farm
Acorn Squash – Charlestown Farm
Figs – Our Tree
Onion – Jack’s Farm
Non local – olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper.
