Pork Chops with Jalapeño Sauce

Spicy with a bit of sweetness, this cilantro, lime, and pepper sauce livens up quickly broiled pork chops. I like to serve this with some simple roast asparagus, which I broil on high for 5 minutes while the pork chops rest.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pork chops boneless and skinless, visible fat trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeño
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

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 cilantro, jalapeño, stock, gelatin, coconut aminos, and lime juice 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.
  • 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.
  • While the chops cook, add the jalapeño sauce to a small pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the chops are cooked and rested. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Slice pork and serve with the sauce spooned over top.
