How to Make Caribbean Pork Chops With Banana And Coconut Milk

  1. Cut 1 ripe banana in half crosswise, then lengthwise into quarters.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the banana for 30-45 seconds, shaking the skillet frequently, until lightly browned.
  3. Remove the banana from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon more oil to the skillet. Season 2 (1-inch thick) pork chops with salt and pepper. Brown the chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon grated ginger to the skillet; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons mango chutney (or chutney of your choice), and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  7. Spoon the coconut mixture over the pork chops.
  8. Cover the skillet and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and remove from heat.
  10. Generously spoon the sauce over the pork chops and banana. Serve immediately over white rice or a bed of shredded lettuce.
