Dripping, delicious, divine… the piled pat of pine nut and Parmesan butter on this pork chop will tempt even the most tongue-tied taster to break out into alliterative verse. There's more to tantalize your taste buds: Swiss chard and shallot get flavored with spicy red pepper flakes and even more of that nutty, perfect Parmesan. You may not be one with words, but you won't need a dictionary to devour this dish. Tip: Stemming Swiss chard may seem impossible, but not so! Just use a sharp knife, and follow the line of the stem. The leaves should easily separate from the stems.
