Keto pork chops with blue-cheese sauce
Health Highlights
Salty and savory, this blue cheese sauce dresses up the average pork chop.

Ingredients


142 gm Blue cheese (gorgonzola)
3/4 cup Heavy whipping cream, 38% M.F. (or crème fraîche)
4 chop (151 g) Pork chop, loin centre cut, bone-in, lean
1 pinch Salt and pepper (to taste)
199 gm Green/yellow string beans, raw (fresh)
2 tbsp Butter, grass fed, unsalted (for frying)

Instructions


1 Start by crumbling the cheese into a small pot over medium heat. Adjust heat as necessary to let it melt gently. Be careful not to let it burn.

2 When the cheese has melted, add the cream and increase the heat a little. Let simmer for a few minutes.

3 Season the chops with salt and pepper.

4 Fry in a skillet on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes before flipping. Cook until internal temperature is 145°-160°F (63°-71°C). Set aside and cover with foil for 2-3 minutes.

5 Pour the pan juices into the cheese sauce. Stir and, if needed, heat it up again.

6 As blue cheese is often fairly salty, taste the sauce before adding any additional salt.

7 Trim and rinse the green beans. Fry them in butter for a few minutes on medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.
