Time 55m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 small Kirby or Persian cucumbers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup apricot jam
3 tablespoons sambal oelek or chili-garlic sauce
1 head broccoli (12 ounces), cut into large florets
3 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for drizzling
4 bone-in pork chops (each 1 inch thick), preferably rib end

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F, with a rimmed baking sheet on center rack and another rack in top position. Stir together cucumbers, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; season with salt and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together jam and sambal oelek; set aside. In another bowl, toss broccoli and sweet potatoes with 3 tablespoons oil; season.
  • Remove sheet from oven; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then spread broccoli mixture in a single layer. Roast, flipping once, until charred in places, 22 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate; toss with remaining cilantro. Switch oven to broil.
  • Season chops with salt and pepper; place on same baking sheet and broil on top rack until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Flip; spread reserved jam mixture over chops. Broil until glaze is bubbly and chops are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Return broccoli mixture to sheet; broil 30 seconds. Serve with cucumber salad, topped with cilantro.

Tips:

  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the pork chops in the flour mixture.
  • To make sure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with the sauce and your favorite sides. Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This sweet and tangy apple pork chop recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, with a crispy coating, and the sauce is flavorful and addictive. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
