Sunbasket is proud to source the organic ingredients indicated below. On the rare occasion we are unable to meet our organic promise, we'll put a note in your bag.
  • 2 organic eggs
  • 2 boneless pork loin chops (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 or 2 organic shallots
  • 4 or 5 sprigs organic fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 or 5 sprigs organic fresh mint
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¾ pound organic green beans
Make It Leaner
In Steps 2 and 3, use just 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil both when cooking the pork and making the sauce ravigote and you’ll shave off a total of 40 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per serving.
Ingredient IQ
Sauce ravigote is unusual in that it comes in both cold and hot versions, using the same flavorings to create very different results. The cold one here is essentially a vinaigrette. In the hot version, the fresh herbs and seasonings infuse a velouté, a velvety white sauce thickened with a roux.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the eggs

Bring a medium sauce pot of water to a boil and fill a medium bowl with ice water. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 10 to 12 minutes for hard-cooked. Transfer the eggs to the ice water to cool. Carefully peel the eggs.
While the eggs cook, prepare the pork.

2

Prep and cook the pork

  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan.
While the pork cooks, prepare the sauce ravigote.

3

Make the sauce ravigote

  • Peel and finely chop enough shallots to measure ½ cup [1 cup].
  • Strip the parsley and mint leaves from the stems; finely chop the leaves.
  • Finely chop the eggs.
In a medium bowl, stir together the red wine vinegar, mustard, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil. Add the shallots, parsley, mint, and eggs and stir to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the green beans.

4

Prep and cook the green beans

  • Trim the stem ends from the green beans.
In the same pan used for the pork, if dry, add 2 to 3 teaspoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Serve

Transfer the pork and green beans to individual plates. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce ravigote over the beans on each plate and serve the remaining sauce on the side.
