Bone-in pork loin cutlets are rubbed with a spicy mixture of paprika, coriander, and cumin and fried until crispy, then simmered in a skillet with hearty greens (kale, spinach, or collard greens) and canned white beans in a sweet-tart sauce made with tomato paste, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. This recipe takes just half an hour to make, and it's perfect for both a holiday party and a quick after-work dinner.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, coriander, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle the pork chops with 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture and rub in; set the remaining spice mixture aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.

  3. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the onion and herbs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften and the herbs begin to wilt, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Add 2 cups of water, maple syrup, beans, tomato paste, and vinegar to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then add the pork chops. Simmer until the pork is cooked through, 5-7 minutes; remove to a plate.
  5. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer until the greens are tender and the sauce has thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the pork.
