Pork Chops on a Bed of Watercress
If you're blessed with a nice stand of watercress, try this elegant and
nutritious combination. Fry pork chops in olive oil until done, then set
them on a bed of freshly picked cress. Dribble any oil and pork fat left in
the pan over the greens. Return the pan to the flame, deglaze it with 1 or 2
tablespoons of zesty
balsamic vinegar (and a little water if needed) and scrape up any bit of
pork, stirring until you have a syrupy
consistency. Drizzle it over the chops and cress and serve.
