👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the smoked pork chops on both sides until nicely browned.

2. 2

   Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.

   💡 전문가 팁: Do not discard the flavorful drippings.
3. 3

   Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Stir in the jocote puree or finely chopped jocotes and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Pour in the chicken broth or water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

   💡 전문가 팁: This deglazing process adds depth of flavor.
7. 7

   Return the pork chops to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.

8. 8

   Stir in the chopped cilantro. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional honey or sugar to balance the tartness of the jocotes.

   💡 전문가 팁: Jocotes can vary in sweetness and tartness, so adjust sweeteners accordingly.
9. 9

   Serve the pork chops with the jocote sauce spooned over them. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
