Behind the Recipe

Mom Never Cared For Spicy Foods

It never stopped my Dad from offering her a bite off his plate, but she never had a taste for spicy. The only exception she ever made was for this recipe. Something about it balanced it all out for her.

With this pork chop recipe, we’re marrying the sweet, tartness of a Granny Smith apple with the subtle kick of jalapeño peppers. The combination is delicious year-round, but it’s particularly tasty in the fall when apples are in-season. Not a fan of spicy? Suck it up. You’ll love this.

Ingredients

2 lbs. center-cut pork chop
3 tbsp. fresh rosemary
Salt & pepper
3 cloves garlic
3 tbsp. olive oil

1 Granny Smith apple

Coat pork chops with olive oil, rosemary, salt & pepper.
Place in fridge to marinate for 2 hours.

Top pork chops with chutney and enjoy.
