Ingredients

Scale

4 bone-in pork chops

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

2/4 tsp dried thyme

1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1/4 cup water

1 minced garlic clove

1/2 sliced yellow onion

1 cup fresh cranberries

Optional: 2-3 chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. and set a large frying pan over medium/medium-high heat.
  2. Pat dry the pork chops and season with sea salt and dried thyme.
  3. Add the coconut oil to the pan once hot. Carefully place the pork chops in the pan one at a time. Sear on each side for 2 minutes.
  4. If using oven-safe cookware like cast iron, pop that right into the oven. If not, transfer the pork chops to a baking sheet or baking dish.
  5. Bake for about 25 minutes.
  6. While the pork chops are cooking, make the compote. In a saucepan over medium heat add the coconut sugar, water, garlic, and onion once hot.
  7. Stir occasionally and more often as it heats up to prevent burning, for 5 minutes. Add the cranberries and continue stirring often.
  8. The compote is done when it has become thick.
  9. Plate the pork chops and divide the compote over each.
  10. Roast for 16 minutes.
