Oven Roasted Pork Chops
with black beans, cumin and cilantro slaw
We can't think of a more festive way to start the week than these juicy pork chops with colorful slaw! The slaw provides a nice contrast to the richness of the meat and will only get better as leftovers!
Smarts: Want to get ahead on dinner? Both the pork chops and the slaw will be tastier if seasoned the night before you eat them!

Make
- Preheat the oven to 425F (218C).
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then sear pork chops for 2 to 3 minutes per side over high heat until they are browned and crisp.
- Place pork chops into the oven and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until pork is firm to the the touch (or cooked to at least 145F or 62C degrees).
- Remove pork chops from the pan and allow to rest for five minutes before slicing.
- While the pork chops are resting pour off excess fat from the pan and add black beans, stir and allow to heat through in the pork juices.
- Let people serve themselves the desired amount of pork, slaw, and beans. Enjoy!

Yum! Did this on a no menu night and it was great. Thought black beans sounded strange so also made quinoa, but really didn't need it- made for great leftovers though!
0 HelpfulReally liked the chops. Beans were okay but I used dry salted ones (made them sit in cold water for an hour). The slaw was surprisingly juicy and paired well with the meat.
0 HelpfulI almost made it. I didn't do the slaw (I did sweet potato fries instead). But the chops and beans were very tasty. While resting the chops, I recommend throwing the beans in the pan with some additional salt and pepper for additional flavour and heat.
