Today’s Special: Spiced Maple Glazed Pork Chops

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a delicious and savory recipe for spiced maple glazed pork chops. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner at home or a special occasion that calls for something a little bit fancy. The combination of warm spices and sweet maple syrup creates a mouthwatering glaze that will have your taste buds dancing with delight.

To make these flavorful pork chops, you will need the following ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops (approx. 800g)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Now, let’s talk about the kitchen tools you’ll need to prepare this dish:

• cast iron skillet
• mixing bowl
• tongs
• oven

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a thick glaze.

Next, heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned and caramelized.

Once the pork chops are seared, brush the maple spice glaze over each chop, making sure to coat them evenly. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful bite.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1000g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 250g. One serving of these spiced maple glazed pork chops contains approximately 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some chopped pecans over the pork chops before serving for an added crunch and nutty flavor. It’s a simple addition that takes this dish to the next level!
