Pork Chops with Balsamic Zucchini Recipe

Combine 1/3 of the garlic, soy sauce, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and 4 torn sage leaves in a bowl. Add pork chops. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add remaining garlic and sauté until golden.

Drain pork chops from marinade and add pork to the pan. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes on each side. Set aside.

Heat remaining oil in the same pan. Fry remaining sage leaves until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Add zucchini to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Add balsamic vinegar and toss to coat. Cook for 1 more minute. Season with black pepper.

Garnish pork chops with fried sage leaves and serve with balsamic zucchini on the side.
