11/14/21 CURED PORK CHOPS WITH ROMESCO, WHITE ASPARAGUS IN A CREAMY BACON SAUCE OVER SWISS CHARD, AND GRANDMA’S POTATOES
Today’s pork chop recipe comes from Lucques’s Sunday Suppers at page 318. Rockenwagner’s signature white asparagus recipe is in his cookbook at page 48. The romesco sauce is a mixture of chiles, nuts, bread, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and some other ingredients, and Suzanne Goin uses it in a number of her recipes. I don’t like asparagus but my family really liked the lemony white asparagus with bacon cream sauce served over swiss chard. The potatoes I served were Portuguese style potatoes that my grandmother taught me how to make. I topped off the potatoes with a pimento moida spice that we bought on a trip to the Azores – a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean.
