Pork chops with roasted bell pepper and arugula salad is a delightful and savory dish that balances the robust flavors of marinated pork chops with the fresh and peppery notes of arugula salad. This recipe is not only delicious but also provides a nutritious and colorful meal perfect for any occasion.
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup miso, 3 tbsp white wine, and the minced garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Place the 4 pork fillets in a shallow dish or a large zip-lock bag. Pour the miso mixture over the pork, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and deseed the red pepper, then slice it into strips.
- Toss the pepper strips in 1 tbsp of olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred at the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- While the peppers are roasting, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the pork fillets from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
- Place the pork fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are nicely browned. Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of arugula and the roasted red pepper strips.
- Drizzle with 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
- Place a generous handful of the arugula salad on each plate.
- Add a perfectly cooked pork fillet on the side.
- Optionally, drizzle any pan juices from the skillet over the pork fillets for added flavor.
- Serve immediately while the pork is hot and the salad is crisp.
Tips:
- Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully permeate the meat.
- Ensure your grill or pan is preheated properly before cooking the pork chops to achieve a nice sear.
- Roast the bell pepper until the skin is charred for an added smoky flavor.
- Toss the arugula lightly with the dressing just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp.
- Feel free to add extra veggies or herbs to the salad for additional flavor and texture.
Enjoy your expertly crafted garlic-miso glazed pork chops alongside a refreshing arugula salad. This dish is sure to impress with its rich flavors and vibrant presentation. Remember, the key to a perfect meal lies in the quality of the ingredients and the love you put into preparing it.
