Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 pieces ripe kiwis (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced kiwis, honey, lime juice, and water to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the kiwis to soften and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the kiwi sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with the kiwi sauce spooned over the top.
