Prep: 5 Min Cook: 35 Min Calories: 580

• 12oz potatoes
• 1tsp garlic powder
• 1oz dried cranberries
• 6oz green beans
• 1shallot
• 1TBS flour
• 10oz pork chops
• 1oz chicken stock concentrate
• 4tsp cooking oil
• ½TBS butter

Prep:

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Trim green beans if necessary. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot.

Roast veggies:

Toss potatoes on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.

Tip: If green beans are done before potatoes, carefully remove from sheet and leave potatoes roasting. Tent with foil to keep warm if needed.

Prep pork:

Place flour in a shallow dish, season with salt and pepper. Pat pork dry with paper towels and season all over with 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Working with one piece at a time, press pork into seasoned flour until fully coated.

Cook pork:

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add coated pork (shake off excess flour first), cook until browned and cooked through, 4- to 6-minutes per side.

Tip: Lower heat if pork begins to brown too quickly. Turn off heat, transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan and let cool slightly.

Make sauce:

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add shallot, cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 2- to 3-minutes. Add dried cranberries, stock concentrate, and ¼ cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2- to 4-minutes. Turn off heat, stir in ½ TBS butter. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Finish & serve:

Add pork to pan with sauce and turn to coat. Divide pork, potatoes, and green beans between plates. Spoon remaining sauce over pork. Serve.
