A stunning way to enjoy pork chops, merlot, and the dark fruit, warm spice, and floral notes of the Merlot Pairing Salt Blend. New to our Wine Pairing Sea Salts? More on the collection here.

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops
• 2 tablespoons Merlot Pairing Salt Blend
• 2 tablespoons butter or oil
• 4 sweet potatoes
• A few sprigs mint, picked
• A few sprigs cilantro, picked
• 2 green onions, sliced thin

Instructions:

Season pork chops on both sides with Salt Blend. Add butter or oil to a heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Turn heat down to low and continue to cook to desired doneness. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with sliced roasted sweet potatoes (45 min at 375) and an herb salad. (I like mint, cilantro, and green onion.) Garnish with a sprinkle of additional Merlot Pairing Salt Blend.
