If you have balsamic vinegar, escarole, pork chops, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert.
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
Add the vinegar and cook until the onion is soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the escarole and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve with the pork. Tip: The assertive winter flavors of the escarole-and-onion mixture make it a great side dish for more than just pork chops. Try it with roasted turkey, beef, or meaty fish, such as salmon.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Riesling
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling are my top picks for Pork Chops. Chardonnay suits simple chops or chops in a butter or cream sauce, dry riesling complements sweet additions like honey mustard or apples, and pinot noir is a safe bet for pork dishes in general. The Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay
Nozzole Le Bruniche is an elegant and distinctive expression of the Chardonnay variety, with a clean, fragrant bouquet of white and tropical fruits offset by slight nuances of toast. On the palate, it shows a superb balance of fruit ripeness underscored by a fresh acidity and structure of medium body, with an overall impression of delicate complexity. These are repeated in the clean, persistent finish, which ends on a subtle toasty note.
