Lupin Free Honey Garlic Pork Chops
Sticky, golden, and deeply savory, these pork chops hit every note you want from a weeknight dinner without any complicated prep. The chops get a quick rub of turmeric and ginger before hitting a hot skillet, building a gorgeous sear that locks in all that juicy flavor. What makes the sauce so good is the combination of honey, coconut aminos, and sliced garlic — it reduces into something glossy and rich that clings to every bite. Coconut aminos stand in beautifully for soy-based sauces, which can sometimes contain hidden legume derivatives that are a concern for anyone avoiding lupin. Arrowroot starch thickens the sauce cleanly and quickly, so there's no need for any flour-based thickeners that could introduce unwanted ingredients. The whole thing comes together in one skillet, meaning less cleanup and more time at the table. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little brightness that makes the whole plate look as good as it tastes.
