Pork Chops with Mango Chutney

By á-25285

These chops are slightly spicey. If you have a frying pan that you can put under the broiler, you don't need to transfer the chops to a baking pan.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbls canola oil
• 2 tsps ground coriander
• Fresh ground black pepper
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Four pork chops (I use boneless)
• 2 to 3 Tbls mango chutney (or pear chutney)
• 2 tsps sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Place the oil, coriander, black pepper, salt and cayenne in a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag. Mix together and add the pork chops turning them to coat completely. Refrigerate a minimum of 20 minutes to overnight.

Put an oven rack in the top middle position in the oven and turn on the broiler.

Heat a large frying pan for 2 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the chops and sear until browned. Turn the chops over and transfer the frying pan to the oven. If you don't have a frying pan that you can put under the broiler, turn the chops and continue to brown the other side. Then transfer the chops to a baking pan.

Broil the chops for 3 minutes, remove from oven and spread the chutney evenly over each chop. Sprinkle each chop with 1/4 tsp of sugar and return the frying pan or baking pan to the oven. Continue to broil the chops until the chutney is deep golden - if the ends get a bit charred, that is fine. Remove the chops to a plate and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
