Curried Mango Pork Chops
Busy night? Then you need these delicious, flavor-packed, 30-minute Curried Mango Pork Chops on your dinner table! Just 6 ingredients (with garnishes) and in less than 30 minutes you can have a delicious, flavor-packed dinner on your table.
Is it just me or has there been a major spike in technological advancements recently?
Just the other day I read about these new-fangled, contact lenses with a built-in, blink-triggered, camera in them. Then I heard about the line of completely solar-powered GoSun stoves and grills. Which were in the same article with The Nima which can detect gluten in foods in less than 2 minutes – which would be a huge breakthrough if you suffer from Celiac disease.
Shortly after, I saw an EHang drone that could carry a passenger in it and started dreaming of all the pros of having one of these!
Just imagine – I could come to each and every one of y’alls homes and personally sample the delectable eats y’all post – no more licking the screen for this gal!
Of course, all these gadgets and gizmos started to get me excited as I was hoping that someone, somewhere would come up with a mango peeler-and-cuber – but alas, my hope was to no avail.
You see, I adore mangoes – and often go overboard when I run into ripe, juicy mangoe! But, mangoes take time to be peeled and cubed.
I hate to confess this, but sometimes, I just slice into a mango and simply suck the flesh off the skin – yes, it’s a messy sight, but hey, when you are a hardcore mango lover, you get dogs and have them lick the mess up!
Just kidding.
Maybe.
Getting back to these Curried Mango Pork Chops:
In order to get a tastebud-tingling mix of sweet and spicy, I used a curry powder and paprika dry rub on these Boneless Pork Chops.
Then I pan sauteed them to seal in that first layer of flavor before smothering them with paprika and curry-spiced mango marinade.
Just 6 ingredients (with garnishes) and in less than 30 minutes you can have a delicious, flavor-packed dinner on your table.
My daughter and I enjoyed these Curried Mango Pork Chops with a side of roasted broccoli and a dipping sauce of the thickened Curry Mango marinade – you can add in some brown rice or rolls as well.
Ingredients
Dry Rub consisting of:
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Curried Mango Glaze/Sauce:
- 1/2 teaspoon curry
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 fresh ripe mango – pureed
Cook and garnish with:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- cilantro and red pepper flakes to garnish
- 5 pork chops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Make the marinade/sauce in a small pan, by adding the pureed mango, curry, paprika and salt together and place over a low flame and let simmer
- Make the dry rub by mixing the smoked paprika, curry powder, salt and pepper together
- Rub each of the pork chops with the dry rub on each side
- Add olive oil to an oven-safe pan and, when hot, add pork chops to pan and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side
- Then add a tablespoon or so of curried mango glaze to each of the pork chops
- And place pan with pork chops in the preheated oven for 10 minutes
- Meanwhile, take curried mango marinade/sauce off the stove top when it has thickened some (total of 7 minutes)
- When pork chops are done, remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes
- Serve garnished with cilantro and papper flakes if desired and Curried Mango sauce on the side.
that looks soooo good
Boy I had to do a whole lot of scrolling to get to the comments here. People obviously think the same as me. Wow!
These look amazing, and I too wish I could have one of those drones deliver a plate of these right now. First a dry rub of a curry mix then the mango glaze elevates these beauties! When do you deliver Shashi?
I think your recipe sounds wonderful and I don’t think I could improve it in anyway. My 92 year old mom uses pineapple with pork since you asked about what fruit we would use. Of course, when I was growing up you couldn’t buy mangos locally (NC). I am glad that is not the case now. I am a terrible cook and have never cooked pork, or much of anythinv else. My mom wouldn’t let my sister or me in the kitchen because she said we might get her curtains wet when we washed dishes, so neither of us had ever cooked or washed a dish when we married. My sis became a great cook, but not me. My husband cooked and our son is a wonderful cook too. I will definitely pass this recipe on to them.
Holy flavor batman! These pork chops sound amazing!
As a hardcore mango lover myself (I have been known to eat 3 a day when in season…and let’s not talk about how fast I eat the bags of frozen mango from TJs…it’s not cute), I feel for you on the pain in the tush of pealing and cubing mangos. I have thought a lot about this dilemma over the past 20 years and I have developed a method. I’m curious what your method is…other than sucking off the flesh! LOL!
I wish my food looked half as good as this.
Lemon blueberry cookies! That is a recipe I am making for sure.
These look wonderful, Shashi! I love the combination of tangy, salty, sweet with pork – perfect!
Those gadgets sound crazy, especially those contacts- they seem like something out of Mission Impossible or James Bond! From one mango lover to another, this recipe looks amazing, seriously amazing!
As you know we don’t eat pork so unfortunately I wouldn’t be trying Smithfields but I will try your marinade! That looks fantastic and with the mangoes and spices, sounds wonderful. I do love the color on those pork chops though!
I really want to try this recipe. With Smithfield® All Natural Fresh Pork Chops you can pair just about any fruit. Pork, like chicken has a lot of versatility and is good for everyday recipes as well as more formal occasions.
I’ve had Smithfield Bacon but haven’t had their pork chops. Your dinner plate looks fantastic!
Now you’ve done it! My tastebuds are tingling just thinking about this fabulous dish! I’m a huge fan of both pork chops and mango (and believe me, I get the peeling and eating the flesh off the skin…) but I’ve never had them together! A match made in heaven! And the gorgeous color you have on those chops is killing me!!
I would like to glaze some apples with it. Yum! Yours looks really delicious too.
Darn! I can’t eat pork, but I’ll have to share this recipe with my friends who do eat it!! It looks so darn good! I love that mango dipping sauce! *-*
This recipe looks good
Curried? Mangoes? Pork? All time fav!!
