Servings: 2
Calories: 317kcal
Ingredients
- 2 dried apricots
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon glucomann
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit granulated, omit if using coconut aminos
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha optional, omit for nightshade-free
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 pound pork chops
Instructions
- Preheat your oven’s broiler (or turn the oven to 500ºF) and position the oven rack in the top third of the oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and rub with a bit of oil and set aside.
- Combine the apricots, water, glucomann, coconut aminos, sriracha, garlic, and apple cider vinegar in a blender and process until smooth.
- Place the chops onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle both sides generously with salt. Broil the pork about 4 inches from the broiler, flipping half way through. With about 5 minutes of cooking to go, spoon a quarter of the sauce over top of the chops, broil for one minute, then flip and sauce the second side. Broil. Repeat the process to use the remaining sauce.
- The size and thickness will determine the cooking time so the best way to tell is by temperature. Generally, 1/2-inch chops take 4-5 minutes per side, 3/4-inch chops take 6-8 minutes per side, and 1-inch chops take 8-10 minutes per side. Cook until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145ºF. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
