Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon jalapeno hot sauce
2 pounds thin-cut bone-in pork chops (about 6 chops)
Kosher salt
4 stalks celery, chopped
1 large white onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 14.5-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 15-ounce can no-salt-added white beans, drained and rinsed
1 5-ounce package chopped kale (about 6 cups packed)

Steps:

Preheat the broiler. Whisk 1 tablespoon each olive oil, chili powder and hot sauce in a bowl. Season the pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pierce the chops all over with a fork and rub with the spice mixture on both sides; place on a rack set over a baking sheet. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion, garlic and the remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are translucent, about 8 minutes.
Add the chicken broth and tomatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about one-third, about 7 minutes. Add the beans and kale; toss to coat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until the kale is tender, about 7 minutes. (Add up to 1/2 cup water if the mixture looks dry.) Season with salt.
Meanwhile, broil the pork until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip; broil until cooked through, 2 more minutes. Serve with the kale and beans.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH KALE SALAD

Pork Tenderloin with Kale Salad image

In this easy and nutritious weeknight recipe, a kale salad is prepared and left to marinate in the dressing, which ensures crunchy-not tough-greens (thanks to the tenderizing effects of the olive oil). Meanwhile, a super simple pork tenderloin is seared and baked, along with earthy sweet potatoes and nutty quinoa that both are tossed into the salad before serving.

Ingredients

1 bunch Tuscan kale, stems removed, sliced into ribbons (about 7 cups)
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dried currants
1 ounce finely grated pecorino (1/4 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup quinoa, well rinsed
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), tied

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss kale with 4 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, currants, and pecorino; season with salt and pepper and set aside. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast, flipping once, until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.
In a pot, bring quinoa, 3/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until tender, 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork; transfer to a plate to cool.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. Generously season pork with salt and pepper; sear, turning occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer to oven and roast until a thermometer reads 145°F, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer pork to a cutting board; let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Stir potatoes and quinoa into kale salad and serve with pork.
