Tropical Twist: Mango-Glazed Pork Chops Recipe

Mango-Glazed Pork Chops

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest culinary creation with you all — Mango-Glazed Pork Chops. As we’re transitioning from summer to fall, I wanted to capture the last flavors of the season with a tropical twist. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner at home or a weekend get-together with friends and family.

Ingredients:

• pork chops (approximately 200g each)
• ripe mango, peeled and diced
• jalapeño, minced
• cloves of garlic, minced
• tablespoons of soy sauce
• tablespoons of honey
• tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
• teaspoon of smoked paprika
• salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• grill pan
• blender
• mixing bowl
• tongs

I start by marinating the pork chops in a mixture of soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, I blend the diced mango, minced jalapeño, and apple cider vinegar in a blender until smooth to create the glaze.

Next, I heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the marinated pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop beautiful grill marks and are cooked through. During the last few minutes of grilling, I brush the mango glaze over the pork chops, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection and glazed with the mango mixture, I remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. The combination of the juicy pork chops and the sweet and spicy mango glaze is a true explosion of flavors that will leave your taste buds wanting more.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800 grams, with 4 servings at around 200 grams each. One serving of these Mango-Glazed Pork Chops is around 350 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to reserve some of the mango glaze to drizzle over the pork chops right before serving. This extra burst of flavor will take the dish to the next level and impress your guests.

I hope you give these Mango-Glazed Pork Chops a try and tailor them to your own preferences. Feel free to play around with the spice level, add more honey for extra sweetness, or even try grilling the pork chops outdoors for a smokier flavor. Enjoy and happy cooking!
