Keto Seared Pork Chops with Rhubarb Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rhubarb, cut in ½-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons gold erithrytol monk fruit sweetener or Swerve Brown
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or ghee
- 2 teaspoons raw cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- Kosher sea salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 4 pork chops (1" thick)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Around 12-24 hours before you plan to eat, sprinkle the pork chops with kosher sea salt then return to the fridge. When you're ready to prepare your meal, take the pork chops out of the fridge and allow to come to room temperature while you prepare other ingredients, around 20 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. (*If you aren't able to do this ahead of time, take them out and salt them 40 minutes beforehand instead.)
In small pot, cook first 5 ingredients over medium, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender and sauce thickens, 5 minutes; season to taste with salt. Allow to cool. (*If making ahead, store in the fridge and take it out 20 minutes before you plan to cook to bring to room temperature.)
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear, turning once, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Top with compote and parsley and serve.
