From the Test Kitchen

To accompany our irresistibly spicy-sweet glazed pork, we’re whipping up a vibrant side of tomatoes and zucchini sautéed with just a touch of garlic and olive oil. An additional side of smooth mashed potatoes completes the dish on a hearty note and helps to soak up the flavorful glaze.

Hot Honey Butter-Glazed Pork with Mashed Potatoes
Title
  • 2 Boneless, Center-Cut Pork Chops
  • 1 oz Salted Butter
  • 4 oz Grape Tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp Hot Sauce
  • ¾ lb Potatoes
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2½ Tbsps Chicken Demi-Glace
  • 2 tsps Honey
  • 1 Zucchini

Hot Honey Butter-Glazed Pork

Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze
1 Prepare the ingredients & make the glaze

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the tomatoes. Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. In a bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), demi-glace, 2 tablespoons of water, and as much of the hot sauce as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

2 Cook & mash the potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook 16 to 18 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add half the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

3 Cook the vegetables

Meanwhile, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped garlic, halved tomatoes, and sliced zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the pork & serve your dish

Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 4 minutes. Add the glaze (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and remaining butter. Cook, frequently spooning the glaze over the pork, 1 to 2 minutes for medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until the pork is coated and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked pork (including any glaze from the pan) with the mashed potatoes and cooked vegetables. Enjoy!

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for pork.
