This quick weeknight dinner for two from Carla Lalli Music’s That Sounds So Good feels like a fancy plate you’d order at the bar of a perfect neighborhood restaurant. The salt-and-sugar combo helps the pork chop quickly achieve a golden brown crust, and doing everything in the same skillet imparts a ton of flavor to the onion and radicchio as well. Grab Carla’s new book, That Sounds So Good, out now.
