Ingredients

  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 1 small shallot
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1 lb fresh carrots
  • 3 limes, for juice
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (about 1 ½ lb)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F; line baking sheet with foil. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Peel and grate ginger (2 teaspoons). Slice shallot. Chop cilantro. Peel carrots. Juice limes (3 tablespoons).
    2. Combine in small bowl: ginger, shallots, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Divide lime sauce in half; combine one-half with mayonnaise and reserve remaining half for pork.
    3. Combine red pepper, 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar in second small bowl; rub mixture onto carrots, spread in single layer on prepared baking sheet, and roast 20–25 minutes until tender. Drizzle carrots with mayonnaise sauce.
    4. Meanwhile, coat pork with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then season with salt and pepper (wash hands). Grill 4–5 minutes on each side until grill-marked and 145°F; baste with reserved lime sauce during last minute of cook time. Serve pork with carrots and any remaining lime sauce on the side.
