Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
12 fresh sage leaves
4 bone-in pork loin (T-bone) chops (3/4 to 1 inch thick)
1 medium butternut squash, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 4 sage leaves in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and add 5 cups cold water. Submerge the pork chops in the brine and refrigerate 10 minutes.
  • Chop 3 sage leaves; set aside. Toss the remaining 5 sage leaves with the squash, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the pork and pat dry. Add to the skillet and cook until a meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center registers 140 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Divide among 4 plates.
  • Add the chicken broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar to the skillet; simmer, stirring, until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice, the reserved chopped sage, and salt to taste. Drizzle the pork with the sauce and serve with the squash.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops were overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
