Sour Cherry-Dijon Pork with Roasted Potatoes &  Carrots
Title
  • 2 Boneless, Center-Cut Pork Chops
  • ¾ lb Carrots
  • 1 Tbsp Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • ¾ lb Potatoes
  • 2 Tbsps Sour Cherry Spread
  • 1 oz Garlic & Herb Spreadable Butter
  • 1 Tbsp Weeknight Hero Spice Blend (Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Smoked Paprika & Whole Dried Parsley)
  • 1 Lemon
Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the potatoes lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Quarter and deseed the lemon.

2 Roast & finish the vegetables

Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the potato pieces and carrot pieces on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 18 to 22 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a bowl. Add the softened butter and the juice of 2 lemon wedges; stir to coat.

Cook the pork
3 Cook the pork

Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes. 

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

4 Make the sauce & serve your dish

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the sour cherry spread, mustard, and 1 tablespoon of water; season with salt and pepper. Slice the rested pork crosswise. Serve the sliced pork with the finished vegetables. Top the pork with the sauce. Serve the remaining lemon wedges on the side, if you'd like. Enjoy!
