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:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes for a more complex flavor. Look for varieties with different colors, such as orange, purple, and white.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes before mashing them. This will help to caramelize the sugars and give the mashed potatoes a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food processor or blender, but be careful not to over-process the potatoes or they will become gluey.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Moroccan spices, such as cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, add a warm and savory flavor to the mashed potatoes.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mashed sweet potatoes with Moroccan spices are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve them as a side dish with roast chicken, fish, or beef, or enjoy them as a vegetarian main course. You can also flavor them with any leftover herbs or spices that you have on hand, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika. Get creative and make this recipe your own!
