Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 Rosemary Sprig
  • 8 oz. Brussels Sprouts
  • 8 oz. Turnip
  • 1/2 oz. Dried Cranberries
  • 2 Bone-in Pork Chops
  • 0.96 fl. oz. Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 tsp. Vegetable Base

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.

  2. Trim bottoms off Brussels sprouts and halve (quarter if larger than ping pong balls). Peel and cut turnip into ½" dice. Stem and mince rosemary. Coarsely chop dried cranberries. Place in a mixing bowl and cover with ¼ cup hot water. Set aside to rehydrate. Pat pork chops dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Place Brussels sprouts and turnip on prepared baking sheet. Toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, rosemary (reserve a pinch for garnish), ¼ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Spread into a single layer. Roast until vegetables are caramelized and tender, 18-20 minutes. While vegetables roast, sear pork chops.

  4. Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add pork chops to hot pan and cook until well-browned and chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate and rest 5 minutes. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  5. Return pan used to cook pork to medium heat. Add cranberries and their rehydrating liquid, syrup, ¼ cup water, and vegetable base to hot pan. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired. Remove from burner,

  6. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with reserved rosemary. Bon appetit!
