Juicy Boneless Pork Chop with Sweet Acorn Squash

Price per serving for two: $2.26

You will need to buy as many boneless pork chops as you need. Funny that meat is cheaper than bread these days. I just got two boneless beauts for $3.64, one inch thick.You will also need to buy an acorn squash, got a large deep green one at Aldi for less than one dollar.

Take from your pantry list: Olive oil, coconut oil, dried herb seasoning, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and garlic powder. Start first by microwaving your washed, halved with seeds removed acorn squash for 12 min; also drizzle as olive oil across the halves as you like. As for the amount of time, you know that my microwave is old and twelve min. is good for me. But, yours may take less time.

Melt in your skillet 3 tbs of olive oil and the same of coconut oil. Sprinkle in all the above mentioned seasonings (to taste or dietary restrictions). Once the oils spit back at you, lay in your chops, searing on both sides using a high flame. Then turn down your flame to low, cover and simmer for 15 min.

Check your squash and if tender, they are done. Slice into thick sections and use as a bed for the chops, chose a nice serving platter for this. Because, when the chops have finished in the skillet, you will remove and lay directly on the squash.

That's it! Superb dinner in no time at all.
