MOROCCAN-SPICED PORK CHOPS WITH MASHED SWEET POTATOES RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Moroccan-Spiced Pork Chops with Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Jac_M

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups chopped peeled sweet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1/4 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
3/4 teaspoon ground coriander, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Dash of ground red pepper
1/2 cup bottled roasted red bell peppers, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted almonds
1 garlic clove
4 (6-ounce) bone-in center-cut loin pork chops
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water to 1 inch above potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Combine potatoes, milk, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, allspice, and ground red pepper in a medium bowl; mash to desired consistency with a potato masher. 2. Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon coriander, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cumin, bell peppers, 2 tablespoons oil, almonds, and garlic in the bowl of a mini food processor; process until smooth. 3. Sprinkle pork with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, sugar, and black pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve pork with mashed potatoes and bell pepper sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for medium, or 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be slightly pink in the center for medium-rare, or no longer pink for medium or well-done.
  • To make sure the mashed sweet potatoes are smooth and creamy, use a potato ricer or a food processor to mash them.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer or a food processor, you can also mash the sweet potatoes by hand with a fork or a potato masher. However, be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
  • You can add a variety of spices and herbs to the mashed sweet potatoes to taste. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
