with Buttery Rice & Roasted Green Beans
Pork chops are always a weeknight winner. They’re satisfying, speedy, and so versatile, which is why our chefs are always brainstorming new ways to take ’em to the next level. The kicker this week: a fresh ginger and apricot jam pan sauce. On the side, there’s crisp roasted green beans and a bed of buttery jasmine rice (perfect for catching any runoff sauce). Prepare for a flavor explosion.

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince or grate ginger. Thinly slice chili.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Add rice, 3⁄4 cup water (1 1⁄2 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• While rice cooks, trim green beans if necessary. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil and a big pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board. Wipe out pan. **Swap in chicken or salmon for pork. Cook chicken until cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook salmon (skin sides down) until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes, then flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.**
• In a small bowl, combine jam, stock concentrate, and 1⁄4 cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings). • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add remaining ginger and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Pour in jam mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice pork crosswise. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice and green beans between plates. Top rice with pork and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with chili to taste and serve. **Thinly slice chicken crosswise.**
