Steps:
- Whisk 2 cups cold water, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon each sugar and salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Prick the pork a few times with a fork, then soak in the brine 15 minutes; remove and pat dry. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green and wax beans and cook until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Add the bell pepper and corn; cook 1 minute. Drain the vegetables, rinse under cold water and pat dry. Transfer to a bowl and add the kidney beans. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet; heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar and cook until absorbed. Whisk in 1/2 cup water, half of the parsley, the mustard, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and salt to taste. Simmer 3 minutes, then toss with the vegetables. Add the remaining parsley and season with salt and pepper.

PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS WITH WARM CAJUN GRAIN SALAD
We love the plump and tender grains of spelt (a member of the wheat family) in this warm Cajun-inspired salad. The dish goes great with pork chops, but also try it with grilled chicken or blackened fish.

Steps:
- Combine the spelt with 1 1/2 cups of water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until most of the water is absorbed and the grains are tender but still chewy, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Let cool completely. (The spelt can be cooked up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, celery and Canadian bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the ham is lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the spelt, tomatoes, scallion greens, parsley and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the spelt and tomatoes are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, transfer to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the skillet.
- Sprinkle the pork chops all over with the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the empty skillet over medium-high heat. Nestle the pork chops in the skillet snuggly. Cook until nicely browned on both sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each registers 140 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
- Divide the pork chops among four plates. Serve with the warm grain salad, and with wedges of lemon and hot sauce on the side if using.

THREE BEAN SALAD
This dish is the equivalent of a compulsion I have upon receiving a compliment on an article of my clothing: I just have to say that it was only twenty dollars, on sale, and I am so proud of how cheap it is. My husband finds this humiliating. It's the same concept here: people will devour this dish, exclaiming how delicious it is, and you won't be able to stop yourself from telling them how little work it was. You really should just smile and accept the compliments: there's something incredibly satisfying about a dish that sings without your even trying. I think the key is the raw garlic and rosemary: they give an unexpected kick to familiar flavors.
