Greek Pork Chops with Zucchini and Feta
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 1/2 - to 3/4-inch-thick lean bone-in pork rib chops
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley (basil, mint, or oregano is great, too)
- 1 medium tomato, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup finely crumbled feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
- To season and cook the pork chops: Stir together the oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Set the pork chops on a cutting board and season both sides of each chop with the spice blend.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 minute.
- Add the canola oil, and once it shimmers, add the chops.
- Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook, without moving the chops, until they are nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the chops and cook on the other side until browned and the centers resist light pressure, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- To cook the zucchini: Add the zucchini to the skillet with the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini softens, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the herbs, then transfer the zucchini to a medium bowl.
- Stir in the tomato, olive oil, and lemon juice, then sprinkle with the feta cheese.
- Divide the zucchini among 4 plates and serve with the pork chops.
