- Preheat the oven to 450.
- Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat.
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the chops to the hot baking sheet and roast for about 6 minutes, until just cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt the butter in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the anchovies and garlic and cook over moderate heat, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Add the escarole, radishes and 2 tablespoons of water; season with pepper.
