This concoction was made up from searching my pantry and fridge last night. I didn't have time to marinate the chops and I didn't feel like baking them. This turned out fantastic and was super easy and quick. The chops were moist and I loved the combination of the buttery tapenade with the natural flavor of the pork. Of course, you have to like olives and artichokes...
Pork chops with Olive Artichoke Tapenade
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
6 quarters of marinated artichoke hearts (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice (I use the bottled stuff)
1/2 cup pitted black olives
4 boneless pork chops
kosher salt
crushed black pepper
Directions:
Combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor and chop. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high–high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper liberally over both sides of the chops. Place in hot pan and cook 3–4 minutes, flip and cook 3–4 minutes on other side. Remove from heat and allow to sit at least 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and covering with the tapenade. Enjoy!

Jeni, I can tell this is very delicious and simple. I like simple dish like this one. And tapenade is always delicious with anything, especially with pork chop.
