Store-bought mango chutney adds a bit of sweet to the spice of this masala pork chops recipe. Bonus: It helps cut down on prep time, too.
1 tsp smoked paprika
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garam masala
4 boneless pork chops, about 1/2-in. thick
1 tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup mango chutney, divided
1 340-g package mixed broccoli and cauliflower florets, (about 4 cups)
2 small bell peppers, of different colours, quartered
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp finely chopped cilantro
COMBINE paprika with salt and garam masala in a small bowl. Coat pork chops with spice mixture.
HEAT oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium. Add chops and cook until golden brown, about 2 min. Flip chops and spread 2 tsp chutney over each. Arrange vegetables around pork. Add water, then cover and cook until vegetables are tender-crisp and pork is cooked through, about 3 more min.
TRANSFER pork and vegetables to plates. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with remaining chutney.

Shopping Tip: Buying pre-chopped cauliflower and broccoli mix cuts down on prep time. If you can’t find it, use 2 cups each broccoli and cauliflower florets.
