Ingredients
2 each Boneless, Center-Cut Pork Chops
12 oz Potatoes
6 oz Carrots
6 oz Green Beans
1 each Lemon
¼ cup Roasted Pecans
1 tbsp Fig Spread
1 oz Salted Butter
2 oz Cheddar Cheese Curds
½ tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)
¼ cup Buttermilk
How to make it
1
Bring a medium pot of salted water (3/4 full) to a boil. Rinse and dry all produce. Cut the potatoes into a medium dice. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Trim and halve the green beans crosswise. Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). Roughly chop the pecans.
2
Add the potatoes to the boiling water. Cook 16-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot. Add the buttermilk, cheese curds, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Mash to your desired consistency. Taste and season. Cover to keep warm.
3
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high. Add the carrots and green beans in an even layer. Cook undisturbed 2-3 minutes until lightly browned; season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring occasionally 2-3 minutes until softened. Transfer to a bowl. Toss with the juice of 2 lemon wedges (4 wedges for 4 servings) and a drizzle of olive oil. Taste and season. Cover with foil. Wipe out the pan.
4
Pat the pork dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high. Cook 4-6 minutes per side for medium (center may be slightly pink), until browned and done to your liking. Transfer to a board, rest 5 minutes, then slice crosswise. USDA minimum: 145°F for pork. Leave the fond in the pan.
5
Add the butter to the pan of fond over medium-high. Once melted, add the chopped pecans. Cook stirring constantly 1-2 minutes until the foam subsides and the butter smells nutty and toasted. Add the fig spread and 1/4 cup water (1/2 cup for 4 servings); stir frequently 30-60 seconds until combined and slightly thickened. For thicker sauce cook a bit longer; for thinner add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of the remaining lemon wedges. Plate the sliced pork with the mashed potatoes and vegetables. Spoon the pan sauce generously over the pork and potatoes.
