Herbed Pork Chops with Walnut Gremolata

Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Wash and dry produce.

Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Roughly chop walnuts. Zest and quarter lemon. Drain and rinse beans.

In a small bowl, combine scallion greens, walnuts, 2 tsp olive oil (4 tsp for 4 servings), juice from one lemon wedge (two wedges for 4), a pinch of lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and tender, 30-60 seconds.

Stir in beans, stock concentrate, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook, mashing about half the beans with the back of a wooden spoon, until beans are creamy and have thickened, 3-5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Keep covered until ready to serve.

While beans cook, pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side.

Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Let pan cool for 1 minute, then wipe out pan.

Heat same pan over medium heat. Add jam, ¼ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); cook, whisking, until butter has melted and sauce has thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Slice pork crosswise.

Divide beans between shallow bowls and top with sliced pork. Spoon pan sauce over pork and top with gremolata. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
