CITRUS-GLAZED PORK WITH FARRO
We baked our pork tenderloin with warm spices, like ground cumin and paprika, and oranges so it can absorb additional flavors while it cooks in the oven. This pairs perfectly with the hearty nuttiness of farro and gets rounded out by the sweet-tart pop of pomegranate seeds.

CITRUS-GLAZED PORK CHOPS WITH GINGERY BOK CHOY
Rich pork makes a perfect companion to tart oranges in this tasty weeknight meal. The bold, bright, citrusy sauce demands a robust cut of meat, so pick well-marbled, thick-cut pork chops with a nice fat cap. A dry rub of brown sugar creates a caramelized layer that lends depth to the pan sauce, and the gingery bok choy adds a delightful bit of freshness. This is quite a meal on its own, but you can steam some brown or white rice for a starchy side. Slice the pork to serve, and drizzle the pan sauce over everything.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the ginger and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Trim the bok choy and cut into 3- to 4-inch pieces, if large, or cut down the middle lengthwise, if using baby bok choy. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add the bok choy to the pan, cut-side down, if using baby bok choy, and sear on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add additional oil, if necessary. Flip to cook on the other side until just tender, about 1 minute. Transfer bok choy to the ginger marinade and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Rub both sides of the pork chops with the brown sugar and season generously with salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Arrange chops and orange halves in the skillet, cut-side down. Sear one side of the pork (without moving it) until deep brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the pork but leave the orange undisturbed. Cook on medium-low until the pork is browned on both sides and the orange halves are charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Move the orange to a serving platter and the pork to a plate.
- Add the shallots and garlic to skillet and cook until softened and starting to brown, about 3 minutes. Add all the pork chops and any accumulated juices back to the pan, overlapping if necessary. Add the orange juice and 1/4 cup water. Bring the liquid to a simmer, swirling the pan to release any bits stuck to the bottom. Cover and cook for 3 minutes, then uncover and cook until the pork is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chops to a board and allow the sauce to continue cooking until reduced and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the bok choy to the serving platter. Slice the pork and transfer to the platter along with any accumulated juices from the meat. Spoon the pan sauce and squeeze the caramelized orange halves over the top.

Steps:
- In a high sided saute pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the chops with salt and pepper and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
- Scatter the onions and garlic around the chops. Nestle the rosemary sprig into the onions, sprinkle the brown sugar over top, add the broth, and top each chop with 2 slices of lemon. Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer gently until almost cooked through but still pink, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the chops to a plate and leave the onions and garlic in the pan. Briskly simmer the liquid, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom, until syrupy, about five minutes. Off the heat, discard the rosemary sprig and stir in the butter. Check the seasoning and serve chops topped with onions, sauce, and lemon slices.
