Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tsp. mild curry powder
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp. light brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 (1"-thick) small bone-in pork chops (about 2 lb. total)
8 small sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb.), scrubbed, sliced in half lengthwise
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 small radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup pomegranate arils

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Stir curry, pepper, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
  • Rub an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with oil. Sprinkle pork chops and potatoes with spice mixture on prepared pan to evenly coat, then arrange in an even layer with potatoes cut side down.
  • Roast until pork is golden brown and cooked through and potatoes are deeply browned on cut sides and fork-tender, about 20 minutes. (The pork might finish cooking before the potatoes do; if so, transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest, then continue roasting the potatoes until done.)
  • Meanwhile, whisk yogurt, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
  • Arrange pork and potatoes on a platter. Top with yogurt sauce, radishes, and pomegranate arils.
  • Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
  • Cooks' Note
  • Small sweet potatoes work best for cooking at the same rate as the pork chops and fitting on one sheet pan since you can tuck them between the chops. If you can't find small sweet potatoes, use larger ones, cut them into wedges, and turn them halfway through roasting.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt is the best cut for braising, as it has a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist and flavorful.
  • Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork before braising helps to develop its flavor and also helps to thicken the sauce.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is what will give your braised pork its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of spices.
  • Add vegetables to the braising liquid: Vegetables such as onions, carrots, and celery add flavor and nutrition to the braising liquid. They also help to thicken the sauce.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which will take about 2-3 hours. You can check the doneness of the pork by inserting a fork into the meat. If the fork goes in easily, the pork is done.

Conclusion:

Braised curried pork with sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is fall-apart tender and the curry sauce is flavorful and creamy. The sweet potatoes add a touch of sweetness and nutrition to the dish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
