Pork Chops Diablo
Hot Cauliflower and Potato Salad

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

       It's not quite a potato salad, more of a winter salad, but a nice change for late winter.  Use hot sauce in the pork if you like... As is, they are very assertive, but not hot.

Pork Chops Diablo

Total time: 30 minutes
     Diablo or deviled usually means spicy, often hot and always full of rich, complex flavors.  These zesty pork chops are a perfect example. The ones I get are quite thin.  You may need to increase the cooking time if you are using very thick chops.

Hot Cauliflower and Potato Salad

Total time: 30 minutes
    Potatoes and cauliflower take about the same time to cook - so why not cook together?  Finish with a slightly sharp mustard and a slightly sweet vinegar and you have a flavorful side dish; one dirty pan!  Give the potatoes a slight head start....
