ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon harissa (North African spice available in the International section of the grocery store)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- salt and pepper
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1⁄4 cup flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
- 6 large fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 4 pork chops (bone-in)
- 1⁄2 - 1 serrano chili, thinly sliced
directions
- Whisk together lemon juice, zest, honey, harissa and cumin in a medium bowl. Add 1/4 ccup oil and season with salt and pepper. Add carrots, chickpeas, parsley and mint and toss until well combined. Set aside.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a heavy stainless steel or a cast-iron skillet, large enough to hold chops in a single layer, over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes. Add pork chops and sear, without moving, until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook until just cooked through, 1 - 3 minutes, depending upon the thickness of chops.
- Spoon half of carrot and chickpea salad onto a platter. Arrange pork chops on top and spoon remaining salad over them. Sprinkle with chile slices.
