Elevate your weeknight dinner with these Pumpkin Curried Pork Chops! Featuring a savory pumpkin sauce with smoked paprika and caramelized onions, these bone-in pork chops are tender, juicy, and packed with warm, spiced flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 Bone-in Pork Chops 1 package
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1/3 cup water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp. Olive oil
Instructions
- Coat the bottom of a pan with olive oil and sit it over a medium flame.
- Add the chopped onion to it and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, till barely caramelized.
- Then, add pumpkin puree, curry powder, smoked paprika and barely caramelized onion to a blender/food processor and pulse till well incorporated.
- Use this to coat both sides of the Pork Chops.
- Return the pork chops to the same pan that was used to caramelize the onions and let cook 4 to 5 minutes (according to package instructions).
- Flip and let cook another 4 to 5 minutes on the other side. Use a meat thermometer to make sure internal temp is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wipe off the pan and then add water and remaining Pumpkin Curry mix to the same pan, stir and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes and serve alongside the Pumpkin Curried Pork Chops as a dip (optional).
Notes
Tips:
- Sauté the onions over medium-high heat, stirring often, so they slightly caramelize. This adds so much flavor to this dish.
- Let your pork chops "rest" for 3-5 minutes after taking them off the heat. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and succulent!
