This dish takes the
traditional tastes of the holidays and bastes them into a juicy thick
pork chop! Why wait til winter to enjoy sweet potatoes? Looking for a
great way to fix pork? Look to the south. Now folks all over the U.S.
eat sweet potatoes, and they are grown in lots of states and even
overseas. Yet sweet potatoes just seem to speak with a southern
accent. What is better for us than having most of the flavors already
blended for us to simplify our lives.
Serve this with plain
rice. Since we are using some fruit in this dish, lets have a green
vegetable with some cheese. Mix things up by blending a frozen
broccoli with cheese sauce with some frozen green beans and sprinkle
with grated cheese. Make this meal your own and have some fun with
it!
Ingredients:
Most
often, when a recipe calls for "yams" they are referring to
canned sweet potatoes, but if you check the cans, somewhere in small
type on the label, usually under the word "yams," you'll
see the words "sweet potatoes" also.
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour or corn starch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 -4 pork loin chops (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds total), each cut 3/4-inch thick
- 2 slices bacon cut into three pieces each
- 1 (8-1/4-ounce) can pineapple chunks in heavy syrup, drained, syrup reserved
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1
(15 oz) can candied yams, drained and cut into 1-inch chunks
Directions:
Make
slits into the fat ribbon side of the chops. This will prevent
it
from “cupping”. Mix the flour or corn starch with salt &
pepper and rub into each chop
Cook
bacon until crispy and rendered grease. Use a large skillet over
medium high heat. Remove bacon and brown the chops for about 10
minutes at 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate, keeping
the oil hot.
While
that was cooking, open the pineapple chunks and drain syrup into a
medium bowl. Also drain the yams into a 2nd bowl.
Mix
the brown sugar and cinnamon into the pineapple syrup. Stir well.
Once
the chops are out of the skillet, pour in the pineapple syrup and let
cook while stirring to thicken. (about 2 – 3 minutes.)
Return
the chops and spoon mixture over to coat them.
Add
the drained pineapple chunks and the cut up yam pieces.
Lower
the temperature to a simmer and let sit for another 7 to 10
minutes. Watch to make sure nothing burns.
For
sides, fix white rice according to package instructions. For a green
vegetable, cook the frozen broccoli in cheese sauce for half of the
time listed. Open package into a large bowl. Mix in about ½ cup of
frozen green beans and return to the microwave for the remainder of
the time listed. When serving, sprinkle some grated cheese over just
to make is special.
What
a meal! And in under the old ½ hour mark.
