Pork chops with apple gorgonzola sauce
A couple of you mentioned you'd like to get my recipes. I'm afraid to share this one because you'll all see just how easy it is. Maybe that's a good thing though, that something so tasty can be so simple.

Last week for our mealswap, I made homemade ravioli with leek and butternut squash filling and collard greens and ricotta filling. I also made pork chops with apple Gorgonzola sauce. The ravioli wasn't anything to write home about, but the pork is always a hit.
1 lbs of boneless pork chops
200 grams Gorgonzola
2 apples
salt and pepper
1 tbsp butter
Saute the apples in the butter (I never use the full amount) on medium high heat till they start to turn brown and are soft. Turn down the heat and add the Gorgonzola and mix till it starts to melt. Add salt and pepper to taste (the cheese is already salty, so go slow and taste often with the salt). At this point I turned off the stove and let the pan sit on the hot burner, covered.
I then put the pork chops on the grill and took them off when they were just done and plated them. Once the pork chops were done, I went back to my Gorgonzola sauce which was perfectly melted. You may want to reheat it a bit, but I didn't find it necessary. Cover the pork chops with the sauce.
Enjoy!
