CIDER-DIJON PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES
Sautéing is another fast way to make a meal, especially when the pan juices are turned into a sweet and savory sauce, as they are here. This comforting dish features an array of autumn ingredients-apples, fennel, and sweet potatoes-roasted in the oven to caramelize lightly and bring their sugars to the forefront. The sauce, which mingles apple cider with the meaty browned bits in the skillet, is sharpened with a bit of Dijon mustard to balance the sweetness.

Steps:
- 1. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat until very hot.
- 2. To cook the vegetables and apples: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, apples, fennel, and rosemary with the olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables and apples on it. Roast, turning the ingredients over halfway through, for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
- 3. Meanwhile, cook the pork: Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the chops to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and barely pink when pierced in the center with the tip of a small sharp knife. Transfer to a platter (reserving the oil in the skillet) and let stand for 5 minutes.
- 4. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the oil from the skillet, leaving the brown bits in the pan. Return the pan to medium-low heat, add the apple cider, and bring to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the mustard and simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to lightly thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 5. Divide the sweet potato mixture among four dinner plates. Place a pork chop alongside the vegetables on each plate. Drizzle with the pan sauce and serve.

Tips:
- Use a variety of spices. Sweet potatoes and apples pair well with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a touch of heat with cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the pork chops, make sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of sear.
- Use a meat thermometer. The best way to ensure that your pork chops are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes and apples. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
Conclusion:
This recipe for pork chops with spiced sweet potatoes and apples is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the sweet potatoes and apples are a perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
