Rosemary Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops with Artichokes



















A wordy title, but a delicious dinner.

Ingredients:  
4 pork chops
2 artichokes
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 tbs sesame seeds
2 tbs finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt & pepper 
1 egg
2 tbs olive oil




















On a large plate, mix the parmesan, sesame seeds, rosemary, cayenne pepper and salt & pepper.



















Whisk one egg in a bowl and coat a pork chop in egg mixture.



















Dredge the egg coated pork chop in the parmesan cheese mixture until well coated.



















Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of oil and add pork chops.



















Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.



















In a covered pan, bring about a 1/2" of water to a boil and add artichokes.  Cover and steam for 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the artichokes.



















Naturally you will need some kind of dipping sauce for the artichokes.  We used Lemon Pepper Aioli (mayonnaise mixed lemon pepper seasoning).  It was delicious.
