PORK CHOP WITH APPLE AND CELERY ROOT SALAD

Steps:

• Pork chop:
• Pat pork chop dry with paper towels. Mix salt, pepper, and sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle all over pork. Place pork on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet so it's resting on its side with bone sticking upright and chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Let pork chop sit at room temperature at least 1 hour for even roasting.
• Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Rub chop all over with oil and carefully place in skillet; reserve rack and baking sheet. Cook chop, turning every minute or so, until deeply browned on both sides, 5-8 minutes. Turn on its side and sear edges and fat cap until browned, about 3 minutes total. Transfer back to rack, place in oven, and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of chop about 1" from bone registers 130°F, 25-35 minutes (use a probe thermometer if you've got one, or use an instant-read thermometer and check every few minutes after pork has been roasting 20 minutes). Transfer pork to a cutting board; let rest 15-20 minutes.
• Salad and assembly:
• While the pork is resting, whisk egg yolk, garlic, vinegar, mustard, and honey in a medium bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup oil, whisking until dressing is emulsified (it should be the consistency of heavy cream). Season with kosher salt and pepper.

Slice chop 1/2" thick, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with salad.

BEET & CELERY ROOT POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Boil or steam potatoes until tender. Usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
• Cool, rub off skin and dice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
• Set aside in mixing bowl. This can be done ahead. And you can use left over potatoes as long as they are red or new potatoes and not baking potatoes. They need to have the dense texture of a new potato. I use exotic varieties from my garden.
• Dice Beets into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
• Put large skillet on medium-high heat. Add water, diced beets, salt, garlic, dill (if dried, if using fresh add at the end) and cider vinegar. Simmer uncovered stirring occasionally.
• While beets start to cook dice celeriac into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
• After beets have cooked 8-10 minutes and liquid is about half gone add the diced celery root.
• Continue to simmer until all liquid has evaporated. You will need to stir more frequently as it gets closer to the end and you may want to turn the heat down to medium-low. It is important that you use a wide skillet or it takes forever and the veggies will over cook. When finished taste and adjust salt content if desired. Beets should still be slightly al dente and celery root should be soft but not mushy. NOTE: If it gets to this consistency before the liquid evaporates you can strain off the excess juices but you will have to add extra seasoning and vinegar to make up for what you lose.
• Remove from heat and add to cooked potatoes.
• While mixture is still warm stir in onion and parsley.
• Stir in mayonnaise. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your liking.
• Serve room temperature or chilled.
