Ingredients:
4 center-cut pork chops, 1 1/4 inch thick approximately
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cut lemons
1 garlic cloves
8 ounces fresh mushrooms
1 medium yellow onions
1/3 cup lemon curd
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
salt and pepper, as needed
Directions:
Set the oven to 450 degrees F.
Rub the pork chops with sesame oil and the cut garlic, squeeze the lemon juice over them and massage it inches.
Wash hands well.
Cut the mushrooms into thin slices, stem and all.
Cut the onions into rings.
Broil the chops briefly on both sides,on foil- lined edged baking sheet or broiler pan, until just browned.Pan should be in upper third of oven.
Turn oven back to 350 F.
Mix the hoisin sauce and curd and spoon over the chops.
Pile the mushrooms and onions on the chops on top of the curd mixture.
Bake approx 15 minutes and turn the whole chop and veggie combo over.
This lets the meat juices and sauces caramelize the veggies.
Bake about 10 minutes more, checking for degree of done-ness.
I served this with steamed broccoli and lemon rice.
