Ingredients

  • 4 unpeeled sweet potatoes, cut into small cubes
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 12 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Onion
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 6 (1 inch thick) boneless pork loin chops
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (15 oz/425 ml) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15oz/425 ml) corn, drained
  • 1 recipe prepared El Dorado Sauce

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C) if cooking in the oven.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, oil, peppers, Toasted Onion, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside.
  3. Place pork chops in a slow cooker or baking dish and season with Sea Salt and Black Pepper.
