Pork Chops Pan-Seared with Apple Mango Chutney

Pork chops, pan-seared with apple-mango chutney. You always hear peoples say: ”never go grocery shopping while you are hungry”. Well, there is a reason for that… you end up buying more than you actually need.

And that is exactly what I did yesterday. The market had great-looking mangoes, nice shiny plump apples that I could not pass up.

I have always loved combining pork with fruit. If you enjoy that sweet-and-savory combination, my pork tenderloin with caramelized apples is another wonderful recipe to try. Simple ingredients and so much flavor!

I knew we wanted to have pork because my son requested it. As I started looking at all the mangoes and apples I had purchased, I wanted to make a side sauce with them. Why not a Chutney? As a result, I started looking through all my cookbooks for a recipe.

Most recipes sounded too spicy. For some I did not have all the ingredients on hand.

Consequently I headed back to my kitchen I started peeling, slicing and most of all I was having fun with all the ingredients that I had in hand.

Well…. the result was great. My son loved it even though it was a bit sour for him, but he ate his whole meal with gusto. As for me, I could not get enough of it… The apple and mango blend well with the lime, onions, and pineapple. A perfect concoction of flavors that burst in your mouth with each bite. The pork chops pair well with the chutney.

As with all chutneys, they will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks, and I am thankful for that, as I have more than I bargained for.

Happy Sunday Night.
