Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¾ teaspoon salt, divided

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 4 boneless pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick

  • ⅓ cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup coconut milk

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ cup chopped green onion

  • ¼ cup sliced red bell pepper

  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped dry roasted peanuts

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. On a plate, combine flour, cumin, cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir to distribute the spices. Coat pork chops with flour mixture, and shake off any excess.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place pork chops in the hot skillet, and fry for about 4 minutes per side, until cooked through.

  3. While the pork chops cook, stir together chicken broth, coconut milk, peanut butter, honey, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

  4. Remove pork chops to a serving platter, and keep warm.

  5. Pour peanut sauce into the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Pour peanut sauce over chops, and garnish with green onion, bell pepper, peanuts, and cilantro.
