Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add bulgur. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season with Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil, then pork chops. Pan-fry 1-2 min per side, until golden. - Remove from heat, then transfer pork chops to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the top of the oven for 7-10 min, until cooked through.**
- Rinse and wipe the pan clean.
- Halve snow peas.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Pick mint leaves from stems, then finely chop.
- To a small bowl, add Dijon, lemon juice, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil. Stir to combine. Season with salt, if you like. (This is your vinaigrette.)
- In a medium pot, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) olive oil and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) water over medium.
- Add green peas, garlic and snow peas. Cover and cook for 5 min, until veggies are tender-crisp.
- Add spinach to peas and cook for 1 min, until wilted.
- Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Meanwhile, heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When hot, add pecans to the dry pan. Toast for 2-3 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Add lemon zest to bulgur and fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Add mint to veggies and stir to combine.
- Slice pork chops.
- Divide bulgur, veggies and pork between bowls.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The lemony bulgur received mixed reviews; some loved the zesty combination, while others found it overpowering.
- Ease of prep: Preparation time was longer than expected, with bulgur taking 15-16 minutes to cook.
- Suggestions: Consider reducing lemon in the bulgur; try pan-finishing the pork chops instead of baking for quicker cooking.
- Portions: Some found the meal insufficient for two people; consider increasing portion sizes.
- Texture: The pecan topping added a pleasant crunch to the vegetable mix.
