           The reason I went all Italian on you was simply that I had seen this recipe in La Cucina Italiana, one of my favorite magazines, the copy of which I had left out at the beach.

             What’s great about this dish for right now that the chop sits atop a beautiful salad of arugula, tomato and, my addition here, some sautéed Yukon gold potatoes.   It’s very simple to make, takes no time at all and I encourage you to try it even in the depths of winter.  Grape tomatoes are excellent here.
             I find the baby arugula in the plastic ‘clamshells’ is very good year ‘round and they keep for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator, a good thing because you will not need the whole package for this dish. The recipe is for two but it is a snap to double or triple: You just up the tomato and potato count by one for every chop you cook. Here it is:
