Pistachio and Herb Tapanade Pork Chops -  8.5g Carbs, 3.3g Fiber, 1.6g Sugar

From: holisticallyengineered.com

4 bone-in, thick cut pork chops
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1/2 cup green olives (check ingredients)
1 Tbsp capers
1 clove of garlic
1 Tbsp fresh oregano
Zest of one lemon
1/4 - 1/2 cup oil (I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Process all of the ingredients except the lemon zest and oil in the bowl of a food processor until the ingredients are finely chopped.

With the food processor running, slowly add in the oil until a paste forms.

Add the lemon zest and process until combine.

Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet (oven safe) over medium-high heat.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste (remember the Tapenade is salty from the olives)

Sear the pork chops for 3 minutes per side.

Smear the tapenade over the top side of the pork chops and place the skillet in the oven.

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through.
