Walnut Crusted Pork

Who doesn't love pork right? I prefer the loin, it doesn't seem nearly as fatty and can be used for so many things. I usually buy pork loin at Costco, they are between 7-8 lbs and can be priced as low as $1.99 a lb. Its not bad at all considering you can get several meals out of one. (note 2 pork recipes this week Hmmmm what did I buy???)



2 Lbs Pork loin trimmed of fat and cut into 1 in thick pieces or pork chops

Dijon mustard (most are clean just double check)

1/2 C Walnuts chopped finely

1/4 C Flax seed

1 Tbsp Olive oil

Mix together the walnuts and flax seed. Slather your pork in Dijon mustard and press into the walnut/flax mixture. Press it in pretty firmly so it stays in place. Heat a large skillet with olive oil, make sure it is really hot before you put the pork in ensuring a crispy crust. Cook 5 minutes on each side and test to 165 degrees with thermometer.
