Another great dish from Giada De Laurentis. The Vinagrette is amazing and I use it so much. Often, I make this dish with just the asparagus and vinaigrette as a side.

  •   1 1/2 cups vin santo (about 375 milliliters)
  •   1 tablespoon lemon juice
  •   1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  •   1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  •   1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  •   1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  •   1 bunch asparagus, bottom ends trimmed
  •   6 leaves of Bibb lettuce
  •   1 hard boiled egg, sliced
  •   1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, reduce the vin santo to 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the reduced vin santo, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine, making sure the mustard is fully dissolved. While whisking slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus. Cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a bowl filled with ice water and let cool, about 3 minutes. Remove from water and pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Place the lettuce leaves on a serving platter and top with the asparagus, then the slices of hard boiled egg and chopped almonds. Drizzle the entire platter with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

I couldn't find Vin Santo so I used Muskrat (a similar Italian dessert wine)

"My father's side of the family is Sicilian, and has been making these pork chops for at least 3 generations. My husband frequently requests these over my marinated and grilled pork chops when I give him a choice. If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you may cook the chops on the stove at medium-low."

"Everyone cleaned their plates when my mother made these succulent tangy sweet pork chops when I was growing up. Now, I get the same results when I serve them to my family alongside applesauce and au gratin potatoes."
