Ingredients

6 ounce Green Beans

¼ ounce Rosemary

1 unit Demi-Baguette

10 ounce Pork Chops

1 unit Chicken Stock Concentrate

5 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar

2 tablespoon Garlic Herb Butter

Salt

Pepper

1 tablespoon Cooking Oil

2 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

• Meanwhile, strip rosemary leaves from stems; finely chop leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4 servings). • Pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer pork to a cutting board. Wipe out pan.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add chopped rosemary; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrate, vinegar, ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), and 2 tsp sugar (4 tsp for 4). Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 3-4 minutes. Season generously with pepper. • Turn off heat. Stir in half the garlic herb butter until melted (you’ll use the rest in the next step).

• Halve baguette lengthwise and toast; spread cut sides with remaining garlic herb butter. Season with salt and pepper. Halve on a diagonal. • Thinly slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork, garlic bread, and green beans between plates. Top pork with balsamic rosemary pan sauce and serve. Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
