Description

An ever-so-easy way to add a little zip to pork chops cooked in a cast iron skillet. Serve over buttered rice for a quick and easy dinner.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup pineapple juice
½ cup raisins
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ tablespoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
2 bone-in pork chops
2 tablespoons salted butter

Directions

1. Combine tomato paste, pineapple juice, raisins, brown sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and seasoned salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
2. Rinse pork chops and pat dry. Melt butter in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and brown on both sides, 5 to 8 minutes total. Do not drain the skillet.
3. Pour in the tomato paste mixture, reduce heat, and let simmer until sauce thickens to a gravy consistency and pork is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
