Name: Crispy Honey-Mustard Pork Chops
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 34 min
Ingredients: 4 pork chops, 1/2-inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds); ½ teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; ¼ cup honey; ¼ cup stone-ground mustard; 2 tablespoons panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs); 2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram; ⅛ teaspoon onion powder; ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 450°F. Trim fat from chops; season with salt and pepper, then set aside. In a shallow dish combine honey and mustard. In a small bowl combine bread crumbs, 1 tsp. of the marjoram, and the onion powder; set aside.

Dip chops in honey mixture to coat, letting excess drip off. Place chops on a parchment-lined plate. Place in refrigerator to marinate for 5 minutes.

Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in olive oil. (If the skillet isn't large enough to hold four pork chops without crowding, cook in two batches). Cook chops in hot oil for 3 minutes, until undersides are crisp and browned. Turn chops; cook 3 minutes.

Transfer to an oven-safe platter. Sprinkle chops with bread crumb mixture. Bake chops for 8 to 9 minutes, until crumbs begin to brown. Sprinkle with remaining marjoram. Serve chops with Sweet Beet Chutney.

Sauteed Beet Greens:

If your beets have nice greens, save them to serve with the chops. Wash the reserved greens well. Coarsely chop the greens; set aside. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add greens; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

*

If honey is thick, heat in microwave for 5 to 10 seconds.

In a medium saucepan combine the beets and 3/4 cup of water. Bring to boiling, covered. Reduce heat. Boil gently, covered, for 8 minutes.

Uncover. Stir in the cider, honey, raisins, coriander, dry mustard, cardamom, and salt to taste. Return to gentle boiling. Cook, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes, until liquid is reduced and syrupy.

Tips

For vibrant color and earthy flavor, use a variety of deep red beets to make this chutney.
