You know that dishes that sound so delicious and fancy that you’re too intimidated to even try to whip them up in your own kitchen?
I’ve definitely been there before. For me, it’s fish. I find fish really intimidating to cook. I blame it on my midwestern, land-locked roots.
This recipe might sound the same by the title, but I promise it’s not!
This dish sounds amazing and impressive, but it’s actually as simple as smearing a pork chop with mustard and searing it in a hot skillet to lock all that flavor in.
When served with roasted veggies, you’ll never miss those high carb meals again.
Just because it’s keto, doesn’t mean it can’t be delicious!
