Pork Chops

This recipe showcases the versatility of our Kurobuta pork. The key flavor component is harissa, a spicy and aromatic chile paste that's a staple in Middle Eastern cooking. The yogurt-based tzatziki sauce provides a cooling balance to this piquant dish. It works well with any of our pork chops.
