From the Test Kitchen

One of our favorite things about winter cooking is its use of bright, sweet citrus in savory applications. Here, we’re sautéing clementine with vinegar, ginger and a bit of sugar to create a flavorful chutney for our juicy pork chops. Then, we’re stirring roasted Brussels sprouts into our hearty freekeh salad to accent the grain’s nutty notes and add another delicious seasonal touch.

2 Prepare the ingredients:

While the freekeh cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts; halve lengthwise. Peel and mince the ginger.

While the freekeh continues to cook, place the Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange in a single, even layer and roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the clementine, sugar, remaining vinegar and ½ cup of water (be careful, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally and smashing the clementine with the back of a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Turn off the heat; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
