Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup fresh orange juice; 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest; 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon grated lime zest; 1/4 cup fresh lime juice; 1/4 cup honey; 2 garlic cloves, crushed; 1 small red onion, sliced; Four 10-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, cut 1 inch thick; 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; Kosher salt; Pepper; 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Servings: persons

1 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup honey
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 small red onion, sliced
Four 10-ounce bone-in pork loin chops, cut 1 inch thick
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1
PREPARE THE PORK Whisk the citrus juice and zest, honey, garlic and onion. Add the chops and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2
Remove the chops from the marinade. Strain and reserve the marinade. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season the chops with salt and pepper, add 2 to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until golden, about 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 chops. Clean the skillet.
3
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chops and the strained marinade and cook over moderate heat, turning and basting, until the chops are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of each chop should register 135Au00b0. Transfer the chops to plates and spoon some of the sauce on top.
4
MEANWHILE, MAKE THE SLAW In a large bowl, whisk the coconut oil with the vinegar, garlic, orange zest and juice. Add the endives, jalapeAo, cauliflower and cilantro, season with salt and pepper and toss well.
