- 2/3 cup (20 g) fresh cilantro, stems and leaves
- 2/3 cup (20 g) chopped fresh chives
- ½ cup (125 ml) olive oil
- ¼ cup (20 g) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lemon, grated zest only
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice
- 8 boneless pork chops, each about ½-inch (1 cm) thick

Instructions
- In a blender, purée the herbs, oil, Parmesan, garlic and lemon. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- In a baking dish, drizzle the meat with half the sauce. Let marinate for 15 minutes or overnight. Refrigerate the remaining sauce until ready to serve.
- Drain the meat and discard the marinade. In a lightly oiled ridged skillet over medium-high heat, grill the meat for about 4 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness. Set aside on a plate. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the chops with the cooked beet cubes and the avocado slices. Drizzle with the reserved sauce.
