About this Custom Cook

This custom cook gives the pork and sweet potato combo cook a fun fall-inspired twist. The apple cider sauce pairs well with the pork and gives the dish a slightly sweet and herbal flavor. You could easily make this sauce and pair it with any of the other Pork Chop combo cooks as well (with Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc.).

Ingredients:

2 bone-in pork chops
2½ cups diced sweet potatoes (½-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
