Indian Pork Wraps
Ingredients
8 fresh asparagus spears (rinsed)
2 medium carrots (rinsed)
1 medium yellow squash (rinsed)
1 medium red bell pepper (rinsed)
1 teaspoon garam masala (spice blend)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 thin-sliced, boneless pork chops (about 1 lb)
2 teaspoons mango chutney, divided
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut 1 inch from tough root end of asparagus spears and discard. To do this quickly, group half the spears together, align ends, and slice with sharp knife. Place in microwave-safe bowl.
- Peel carrots; remove ends from carrots and squash. Cut both in half (3–4" long); then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Stack slices and cut into large, uniform matchsticks (1/4-inch-thick strips). Add to bowl with asparagus. Cover and microwave on HIGH 2–3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, remove seeds and membranes from red bell pepper; cut pepper into 1/4-thick-strips.
- Combine remaining ingredients (except pepper strips, pork, and chutney) in small bowl until blended; sprinkle evenly over both sides of pork chops. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the chutney over one side of each pork chop.
- Arrange one or two strips of each vegetable on top of each pork chop. Fold (or wrap) the pork over the vegetables and secure with wooden picks. Arrange pork wraps on baking sheet. Bake 10–12 minutes or until internal temperature of pork reaches 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Remove wooden picks, cut wraps into slices, and serve.
