Recipe: Banana Chip Crusted Jerk Pork Chops

Rank: Easy

Time execution: 35 min

Can be served for: 4 persons

Ingredients

• 2 bunch scallions


• 7 tablespoons vegetable oil


• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


• One 24-ounce can black beans


• 2 2/3 cups banana chips


• 2/3 cup panko


• 3 teaspoons dry jerk seasoning


• Four 8-ounce bone-in pork chops


• Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

1. Chop the scallions, keeping the whites and greens separate.


2. Heat 2 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until hot. Stir in the scallion whites and 2/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the beans along with any liquid in the can, bring to a simmer and then remove from the heat. Adjust seasoning if needed.


3. Pulse the banana chips in a blender until finely ground. Stir the banana crumbs together with the panko and jerk seasoning. Sprinkle each pork chop with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and then dredge them in the banana crumb coating, pressing so the crumbs adhere.


4. Heat 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Then add the pork chops in batches and cook, turning once, until golden and just pink in the center, about 8 minutes total. Wipe out the skillet and cook the remaining pork chops with the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the same manner. Let the pork stand 5 minutes.


5. Serve the pork with the rice and beans, sprinkled with the reserved scallion greens.
