Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

## Ingredients

- 1 ½ lb Pork chops — cut into 1-inch cubes

- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning mix. preferably low sodium

- 2 tbsp Olive oil — divided

- ¼ cup Butter

- ¼ cup Vegetable broth

- ½ count Lemon — juice

- 4 clove Garlic — finely chopped

- 1 lb Green beans — trimmed and blanched. if thin, no need to blanch the green beans

- Not specified Red chili pepper flakes — optional. Source gives no numeric quantity; use to taste/as garnish as written.

- Not specified Fresh chopped parsley — for the garnish. Source gives no numeric quantity; use to taste/as garnish as written.

- Not specified Lemon slices — for the garnish. Source gives no numeric quantity; use to taste/as garnish as written.

## Equipment

- Stovetop

- Pans

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Step 1.** Coat pork cubes in Cajun seasoning. Heat one-third of the olive oil over medium-high; sear cubes in batches 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through, using remaining oil for batches as needed. Set aside.

2. **Step 2.** Lower heat to medium. Melt butter, sauté garlic about 30 seconds and scrape up the browned juices. Add lemon juice and broth.

3. **Step 3.** Toss blanched green beans in the sauce 3–4 minutes. Return pork, coat and warm through; finish with optional flakes, parsley and lemon slices.

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided

Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Pork US 1 1/2 lb conflicts with source 650 g; US retained.

- Green beans are explicitly pre-blanched in source ingredient state; source offers no blanching time, and thin beans may skip it.

- The original searing method starts with two teaspoons of oil and adds more as needed. Use one third of the listed two tablespoons initially and the remainder for later batches; all listed oil is for searing.

- The publisher does not give a numerical pork doneness temperature.

- The publisher gives no measured amount for: Red chili pepper flakes, optional.

- The publisher gives no measured amount for: Fresh chopped parsley, for the garnish.

- The publisher gives no measured amount for: Lemon slices, for the garnish.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
