This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

ingredients
4 boneless rib pork chops or center-cut, about 1 inch thick
salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium zucchini, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1/3 cup pitted black olives, halved
directions
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook chops until well browned on both sides but still pink in center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chops to plate and cover with foil.
Add remaining tbsp oil to skillet and heat until just smoking. Add zucchini and salt to taste and cook, stirring, until spotty brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth and oregano and bring to simmer, using wooden spoon to scrape bottom of pan. Push zucchini to sides of pan, return chops and any accumulated juices to pan, and cook until pork is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 7 minutes.
Transfer chops to serving platter. Add tomatoes and olives to skillet and toss to warm through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and spoon vegetable mixture over chops. Serve.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Easy and tasty, something we always like in a recipe! The chops were tender and moist and the zucchini texture and flavor was very good. The tomatoes and black olives added the perfect finishing touch.
