• Ingredients:
  • 6 pork chops
  • 1 teaspoon pepper corns, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 8oz package of sliced FunGuy white button mushrooms
  • 1 14 ounce can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 bird’s eye chili pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 6 lemon basil leaves, chopped
  • 4 cups cooked white rice

It’s obvious that lime and coconut go together. There are even songs about such a pairing. Now the FunGuy has thrown his caps into the mix by way of sauce. Coconut milk mushroom sauce to be exact!

The lime comes in through tangy spice marinated pork chops that get to swim in that sauce for a bit before laying out on a bed of white rice.

Think of it like a tropical beach vacation for your taste buds!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish. In a bowl, mix together pepper corns, chili flakes, lime juice, zest, half of the garlic, 1 tablespoon ginger, and salt. Pour the marinade over the pork and rub it into the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Once the pork is done marinating, remove it from the refrigerator.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the pork chops in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Allow it to sear on each side and brown around the edges. Transfer the pork chops to a plate, tenting aluminum foil over it to keep it warm.
  4. Add in the rest of the garlic and ginger to the pan, sautéing for 2 minutes. Next add in the FunGuy Mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Stir in the coconut milk, honey, and soy sauce.
  5. Place the pork chops back into the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the pork chops simmer 10-15 minutes or until cooked through and the sauce has reduced a little.
  6. Serve the pork chops and coconut mushroom sauce on top of white rice and sprinkle the basil leaves and chili slices on top.

Have a Fun meal!
