Ingredients:
4 4-ounce boneless center-cut pork loin chops
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 ounces Roquefort cheese or similar blue cheese (about 1/2 cup)
2 green onions, chopped
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup water

Instructions:
1. In heavy skillet over high heat, toss walnuts until they just begin to brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer nuts to a small bowl. Add oil and heat over high heat. Brown chops about 1 minute on each side. Cover pan, reduce heat to low and cook chops 6 minutes, just until cooked through.
2. While chops cook, combine cheese, green onions, and pepper with nuts and mix well. Transfer chops to a platter and return pan to the stove. Pour in water; bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan. Cook until juices thicken slightly. Pour juice over chops and top with nut mixture.
