Indulge in Fall Comfort with Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops –

Today, I am excited to share a comforting and unique Fall recipe that is sure to warm both your home and your soul. As the temperatures begin to drop and the leaves change colors, there’s nothing quite like indulging in a cozy and delicious dish to embrace the season.

This “Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops with Sweet Potato Mash” recipe combines the savory flavors of perfectly seared pork chops with a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze, paired with creamy and smooth sweet potato mash. The combination of flavors and textures creates a truly unforgettable meal that you and your loved ones will enjoy.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
– 4 bone-in pork chops (approx. 200g each)
– 1 cup apple cider
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
– 1/2 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Fresh parsley for garnish

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• cast iron skillet
• whisk
• potato masher
• chef’s knife

To begin, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the apple cider, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the pork chops to the skillet. Cook the pork chops in the glaze for an additional 5-6 minutes, basting them with the glaze occasionally.

While the pork chops are cooking, place the sweet potatoes in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook the sweet potatoes until tender, then drain and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the sweet potatoes, then mash until smooth and creamy.

To serve, plate the sweet potato mash and top with the apple cider glazed pork chops. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 400 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to let the pork chops rest in the glaze for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully absorb into the meat, resulting in a more succulent and flavorful dish.

I hope you enjoy making and eating this Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops with Sweet Potato Mash recipe as much as I do. Feel free to get creative and adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
