Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the zest and juice (1-2 tablespoons) of half the clementines to a medium sized bowl.  Whisk in honey, vinegar, chopped rosemary (can substitute tarragon or thyme), 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.  Peel remaining clementines and place wedges in a sealable container in the refrigerator for later use.
  • Place pork chops in a sealable bag.  Pour honey mixture over the pork and marinate for at least 2 hours (can be left overnight).
  • Peel potatoes and boil in a large stock pot until fork tender; drain.  Add butter and milk to potatoes; mash and set aside, covered.
  • Preheat broiler.  Remove pork from bag and place onto baking sheet.  Pour marinade into a small pan and set aside.
  • Season pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.  Place pork 3 inches from the heat and broil for 4 minutes or until browning occurs.  Flip pork over and place remaining clementine wedges on the pan.  Broil again for 5 minutes or until meat is no longer pink and internal temperature is 145°F.
  • Heat marinade over medium and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat & simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes or until marinade is reduced by half.
  • Meanwhile, spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium.  Slice onion. Peel and cut squash into cubes.  Add to hot skillet and sauté for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.  Remove from heat and cover until ready to serve.
  • Drizzle pork with sauce and serve with broiled clementines, mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies.
