Like a lot of type of cuisine, this Indian influenced dish isn't pretty, but it's full of flavor. It combines a masala spice blend with the sweet tartness of Pomegranate..a touch of pepper flakes keeps it from being too sweet!
Ingredients
- 2lbs boneless pork loin chops shopping list
- about 3T masala spice blend(I used Bhaij, but you can use garam, if desired) shopping list
- 1 large red onion shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic shopping list
- 3T olive oil shopping list
- 1 cup pomegranate juice(you can find this in the produce section...it'is okay to use a blend, but use 100% juice) shopping list
- 1/2 cup chicken, pork or veggie stock, reserve 1/4 cup shopping list
- 1 cup Greek style yogurt shopping list
- 1T Dijon mustard shopping list
- 1/2-2t red pepper flakes shopping list
- 1T corn starch shopping list
- kosher or sea salt and fresh ground pepper shopping list
- 1/4 cup pomegranate arils(optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with masala, salt and black pepper. See Photo
- Heat olive oil in large heavy skillet(I used cast iron), over medium heat.
- Add onions and garlic and stir often for about 3 minutes, until onions begin to sweat.
- Add chops and brown on each side until uniform in color..about 3 minutes, flip, and 2 more. See Photo
- Add juice, pepper flakes and half of stock See Photo
- Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer about 10 minutes.
- Remove cover, turn chops, and let simmer, uncovered another 5-7 minutes or so, until chops are done. See Photo
- Meanwhile, whisk together corn starch to remaining stock.
- Remove chops from pan to platter or plate and keep warm.
- Add yogurt, Dijon and corn starch slurry to onions/juice.
- Bring to boil, then immediately lower temp to simmer a few minutes to thicken. The yogurt may appear to separate a lil, and that's okay...if you don't like the way this looks, you can try mixing it in at the end, off the heat, but I didn't bother trying. We didn't mind it being ugly. ;)
- Serve onion sauce over chops and sprinkle with arils, if desired.
- Good served with rice and flat bread
