Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.
 
Melt butter in a small pan then pour over breadcrumbs. Combine with sage and cheese, and set aside.

 
Heat a large, cast-iron skillet over high heat with oil, 2 turns of the pan. Season chops liberally with salt and pepper, brown on all sides and remove to a plate. Reduce heat under pan a bit, add sausage and brown and crumble. Add carrot, celery, onions, garlic, bay, rosemary and thyme, and stir to soften 5-6 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir one minute; add wine and deglaze the pan. Stir in beans then settle the chops back into the pan. Top with buttery breadcrumbs and bake 12-15 minutes until crumbs are brown and chops cooked through.
