Perfect for making a weeknight meal feel like a feast, try this one-pan recipe for pork chops with artichokes, ready in under 45 minutes!

Are you getting tired of the same old pork dish and looking for something new? Try my one pan pork chops with artichokes and have your palate revived. I was nosing around an old book on Nicoise cooking and came across this interesting title 'Poor Man's Pork Chop with Artichokes'. I was intrigued, what one country defines as poor man's food, another calls a gourmet delicacy.Upon deeper inspection, I noticed something else peculiar in the recipe, the addition of cornichon, or small French pickles. I had a hard time visualizing the combination; pork with cornichon is classic, pork with artichokes sounds feasible, but the two mixed together almost sounds like when Reese's peanut butter cups were invented. It reminded me of my recent pork and pastis post when I combined two different things you would never see in the same pan together to spectacular results. I do my main shopping every Saturday morning at the Portland State University farmers market. When I return home, I usually am tired and looking for something quick and delicious to make for lunch, my families principal meal of the day. The flavors of pork, artichokes and rose will transport you back to the South of France.
