Pork Chops with Balsamic Roasted Vegetables and Gorgonzola

Credit: Photo: Christopher Testani

For maximum flavor and efficient use of your time, these dishes enjoy a quick start on the stovetop. Then it's into the oven to cook while you finish up your sides and prep the plates.

First up is our Pork Chops with Balsamic Roasted Vegetables and Gorgonzola. Taking the roasting pan from stove to oven jump-starts cooking so the pork, potatoes, and onions finish at the same time.

Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Peppers

View Recipe: Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Peppers

This dish comes together in just one pan, making for quick clean up and tons of flavor as the elements build on each other. Corn starch gives the sauce a little thickness and high glossy shine. While some folks are anchovy-averse, they're a wonderful addition to dishes like this because they add meaty, umami flavor to veggies without tasting fishy. Anchovies are often a secret ingredient in some of the most delicious marinara sauces. Round out the meal with a creamy polenta spiked with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and be sure to ladle a little sauce over it, just as you'd put gravy over mashed potatoes.

Baked Grouper with Chunky Tomato Sauce

Credit: Photo: Randy Mayor

The perfect recipe to utilize that cast-iron skillet. The grouper is seared to give it a slightly crisp crust that can hold up to the moisture from the tomato sauce topping.
