Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 tablespoons Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Sear the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, and turmeric, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon some sauce over the chops.
Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Stir in the lime juice and taste the sauce, adjusting salt if necessary.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve the curried pork chops with steamed rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
