Cooking Instructions

1

Mix ingredients into blender and purée. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2

Pat the pork chops thoroughly dry with paper towels.
3

In a small bowl combine the paprika, salt, and pepper.
4

Sprinkle both sides of all the pork chops evenly with the spice mixture. Set aside the chops while you prepare the pan.
5

Mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and dice the onion. Add the olive oil, garlic, and ginger to a deep skillet, Dutch oven, or soup pot. Sauté the garlic and ginger over medium heat for 1 minute, or just until the garlic becomes soft and fragrant
6

Add the diced onion to the skillet and continue to sauté over medium until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the curry powder and continue to sauté for about one minute more to toast the spices.
7

Add the dry lentils and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Place a lid on top, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8

After simmering for 20 minutes the lentils should be tender and most of the broth absorbed. Add the can of coconut milk and stir to combine. Turn the heat back up to medium and allow the skillet to come back up to a simmer. Let it simmer without a lid for an additional 10 minutes, stirring often, to thicken the mixture.
9

Once thickened, turn the heat off. Add the fresh spinach and stir gently until the spinach has wilted. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt or curry powder to your liking, if needed. Add the peppers, stir and let rest.
10

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the surface of the pan is hot, add the oil and heat until the oil shimmers. Add the pork chops–they should make a bright sizzling sound immediately upon touching the pan; if they don't, take them out and let the pan and oil get a bit hotter.
11

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the chops, undisturbed, until they're well browned and they release from the pan of their own accord, about 4 minutes. Turn and repeat on the other side.
12

Remove the chops from pan and let sit, covered loosely with foil, for about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
13

Serve and enjoy!

Another delicious recipe! Peach Mint puree was 👌. I went with green beans and bacon but next time I may try those lentils!

No culinary experience. Watched a lot of Food Shows, and just enjoy cooking new things. I’m trucker, so most of my meals are made when I am home. I dabble in both my own creations as well as sharing some of the best from other recipes such as HelloFresh and online searches. Presentation, obviously, is all me.

For a long time now there would be times where I'd drink way too much Pepsi. I found some recipes that went well with Pepsi so I came up with one that was more my style.I added lemon to a curry fry that I've been making for a while.Making without using red chili pepper should make it more palatable for kids.

I wanted to enjoy the seasonal summer vegetables, so I put them into curry. A delicious dish that makes you want to eat seconds.If the tomato skin bothers you, please use parboiled tomatoes.The cooking time is shortened because you don't use potatoes or carrots. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by annnnn

Coconut curry lentils and potatoes Coconut curry lentils and potatoes

Sooo tasty. Literally ate a huge portion of it myself. Really good recipe you can add whatever veggies you enjoy, like cauliflower or broccoli, or even chickpeas, etc., anything you like. Just add a little more vegetable broth. The yogurt is key too! Adds a nice light taste to the heavy sauce and spices.

I used everybody's favorite ketchup and curry sauce to make a stir-fry.When adding the seasoning ingredients, first pour in the sake to cook off the alcohol and allow the rest of the ingredients to blend easily. Recipe by Kajihara Ato

Turnip & Pork Belly Curry Stir-fry Turnip & Pork Belly Curry Stir-fry

To preserve the texture of the turnip, I decided to stir fry rather than boiling them. The light turnips go wonderfully with the rich pork belly.● If you overcook the turnips, then they'll start to fall apart so give them a quick stir fry on high heat (don't worry if the texture seems raw).● Cook everything on high heat.
