Flattened Pork Chops with Greens and Mustard Pan Sauce

Directions

1. 1.

   Place shallot and mustard seeds in a small bowl or heatproof jar. Bring sugar, 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar and salt. Pour over shallot and mustard seeds; set aside.

2. 2.

   Pound pork chops between 2 layers of plastic wrap to 1/4–1/2" thickness; season with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high.

3. 3.

   Working in batches if needed, cook pork chops until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.

4. 4.

   Reduce heat to medium-low and add mustard, honey, remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, and a splash of water to skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Remove pan sauce from heat.

5. 5.

   Place greens in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle warm sauce over greens and toss to coat. Drain shallot and mustard seeds.

6. 6.
