Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using chicken breasts, follow same instructions as pork in Steps 1, 4, and 5, adding topping, searing 2-4 minutes per side, then roasting until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 8-10 minutes.

  • If using pork tenderloin medallions, follow same instructions as pork in Steps 1, 4, and 5, adding topping, searing 2-3 minutes per side, then roasting until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. If you receive a whole tenderloin, pat dry, then slice into medallions, 3/4"-thick. Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner tenderloin, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • If using NY strip steak, follow same instructions as pork in Steps 1, 4, and 5, adding topping, searing 2-3 minutes per side, then roasting until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 8-10 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Make Topping

    Trim zucchini ends and cut into 1/2" rounds.

    Halve tomatoes.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Combine 1/4 cup panko (reserve remaining for pork chops), a pinch of salt and pepper, and Parmesan in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

    Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Place remaining panko on a plate. Transfer pork to plate, flipping until coated on both sides, pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 2

    Start the Zucchini

    Place zucchini on prepared baking sheet and top with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Massage oil and seasoning into zucchini.

    Spread zucchini into a single layer on one side of baking sheet. Top evenly with panko-Parmesan topping.

    Roast in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Zucchini will finish cooking in a later step.

    While zucchini roast, continue recipe.

  3. 3

    Make the Ragout

    Place a small pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add tomatoes and white portions of green onions to hot pot. Stir often until tender and tomatoes start to break down, 3-5 minutes.

    Add 1/4 cup water, half the vinegar (remaining is yours to use as you please!), half the sugar (remaining is yours to use as you please!), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until liquid is almost completely evaporated, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

    While ragout cooks, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Start the Pork Chops

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pork chops to hot pan. Cook until golden-brown, 2-4 minutes per side.

    Pork chops will finish cooking in a later step.

    Remove from burner. Transfer pork chops to empty side of baking sheet. Top evenly with ragout, then mozzarella.

  5. 5

    Finish Pork Chops and Finish Dish

    Roast zucchini and pork chops in hot oven until zucchini are tender and pork chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Remove from oven and rest, 3 minutes.

    Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing pork chops with green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
