Chili-Rubbed Pork Chops with Sweet Potatoes


This dinner started by combining chili powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper to make the rub that went on both sides of the pork chops. The pork chops were sauteed in some olive oil until done and transferred to a plate to rest.

In a little of the drippings left in the saute pan, some diced fresh pineapple went in to just soften and warm through. A little sugar was stirred in to coat the pineapple and then off heat, in went some scallions, lime juice and salt. This warm pineapple relish went over the pork chops.

The side dish for this was sweet potatoes that were boiled and then mashed. Once mashed, some honey, lime juice, diced jalapenos, and salt were folded in. This was garnished with some plain yogurt.

Again a really nice combination of flavors with the chili on the pork chops, the pineapple relish and the sweet and smooth mashed sweet potatoes.

A definite keeper!
