The Gods demanded chutney, and so I've been given a culinary epiphany! I really have no idea where this overwhelming compulsion came from, I've never made chutney in my life and I'm not all that fond of pork, all I know is that I needed to make this. Read more It was really good and you'll love it too. I cooked it two ways: Baked and Sauteed. I liked them both for different reasons. Click on the pics for an explaination. It helps if you eat it while listening to "Tangerine" by Jimmy Dorsey. lol See less
Ingredients
- 6 small pork medallions shopping list
- To make the chutney, you'll need: shopping list
- 1 1/2 15oz Libby's Tropical Chunky papaya Mix. I suppose if you could afford it, you could cut up real papaya, other fruit, maybe throw in some coconut, raisins and nuts and mix it with a bit of passion juice. But like, I'm poor, and these were on sale. When using the cans, only put in 1/4 the juice. Save the rest for baking. shopping list
- 1/2 cup honey shopping list
- 1 tspn vanilla shopping list
- 1 tspn lime juice shopping list
- 1-2 dashes of each: Ciliantro, onion powder, ground ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, parsley. shopping list
- *************** shopping list
- To make the pork Rub, you'll need: shopping list
- An extra handful of all the aforementioned spices shopping list
- 2 Tbspns additional honey shopping list
- 1/2 tspn extra lime juice and vanilla shopping list
How to make it
- Chop up fruit in a bowl. I used a knife because my potato masher is M.I.A., which annoys me greatly. Add only a bit of the juice, the spices, honey, vanilla and lime juice, mixing well.
- Mix up the additional spices with the honey and rub on the meat. If you're sensitive to a lot of spice, you can skip the rub, but I just happen to love taste.
- Heat up oil in Frypan over medium heat. I've recently discovered Grapeseed Oil, which is expensive as a gold-plated duck egg, but it burns clean and tastes great and so far hasn't aggravated my ulcers. So far.
- Let the pan get really hot (be careful, it spits!) and sear the rub into the meat.
- When it browns around the sides, transfer it to a baking dish with the raw chutney on top. Pour in about 1/3 cup of the papaya/passion juice to partially submurge the chops and bake at 375F for about 20 minutes, depending on how thick the chops are. (20 minutes for thin, 40 for thick)
- If you're frying, put the chutney right in the pan with it and keep it on a low-medium flame, turning occasionally for about 20-30 minutes until done.
- Side Serving suggestion: Couscous or sweet rice, like Ruby or Jasmine.
Where's my damn masher at??

A few drops of human blood is the secret ingredient. No, I'm kidding. I just accidentally cut myself. That seems to happen to me a lot. /=(

Spiced Chutney. Wow. I mean, seriously, I wasn't even sure what chutney was until some bizzare, unseen force guided me through making it.

Grinding the rub.

Just one fried in the pan. I thought frying it would make the meat tough, but it didn't. It helped sear the flavors in and it made the fruit taste more tart.

The rest was baked.

They looked so good, and smelled even better.

Baking made everything so soft and light. The coriander came out more this way too. It was so light, that I found myself eating faster. Not sure which way I liked it more, but they were both scrumpcious.
