PORK CHOPS BAKED WITH POTATOES AND PEARS
If you don't have (or want to use) parsnips, feel free to substitute turnips or carrots. A great way to ensure tender and moist chops is to soak them in a brine of 1 cup milk to 1/2 Tbs salt for at least 1 hour before using in a recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Wash, peel, and slice the parsnips into 1 inch thick peices (same for carrots, but if using turnips, cut in half, then slice into 1/2 inch thick slices). Scrub and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Place into a large bowl and coat lightly with olive oil. Add 1/2 of the thyme (2 Tbsp), garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Pour into a baking dish and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
- While the vegetables are in the oven, mix the remaining thyme, softened butter, and seasoning. Rub onto the chops. Quarter pears and scoop out the seed center.
- Place the chops and pears in the tray with the parsnips and potatoes. Cook about 30 minutes until the meat is tender and the vegetables are golden.
