Pork Chops

Sweet Potato Puree

Candied Nuts

Apple Cider Onion Jam

Side Salad

Method

Pork Chops

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, bourbon, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. This will form a wet rub.

  2. 2

    Rub the Chops

    Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chops

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Sweet Potato Puree

  1. 4

    Boil the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 5

    Make the Puree

    Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mash or blend until smooth and creamy.

Candied Nuts

  1. 6

    Prepare the Nuts

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mixed nuts and toast them for about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Candy the Nuts

    Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract, tossing the nuts until they are well coated. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sugar has caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Apple Cider Onion Jam

  1. 8

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onions thinly. In a saucepan, cook the onions over medium heat until they are soft and golden, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 9

    Add Cider and Sugar

    Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and salt to the onions. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Side Salad

  1. 10

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.

  2. 11

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
