Pork Chops Saltimbocca With Sautéed Spinach

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450u00b0F with rack in middle.

2. 2

   Cut a deep, wide pocket in each pork chop. Sprinkle half of sage into each pocket and stuff pockets with cheese and prosciutto. Pat chops dry and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper (total).

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Cook chops until undersides are golden, about 2 minutes, then turn chops and transfer skillet to oven. Roast until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   While chops cook, heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 5-quart pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Saute garlic until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Add spinach and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt.

5. 5

   Transfer chops to a platter. Add butter and lemon juice to hot skillet, stirring and scraping up brown bits, then pour sauce over pork.

6. 6

   Serve pork with spinach.
