Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
Boil sweet potatoes 6-7 minutes in salted water. Cool to handle while you preheat oven to 450F. Cut potatoes into wedges, drizzle lightly with oil, season with salt and pepper. Roast 35-40 minutes to crisp and brown.
20 minutes before the fries come out of the oven, heat a skillet with about 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add chops and cook 6-7 minutes on each side. Remove to plate and cover with foil.
Add a little more oil to the skillet and reduce heat a little. Add garlic, chopped shallots or green onions and ginger. Stir 2 minutes then add soy and maple syrup. Reduce to thicken a couple of minutes more, return chops and cover with glaze.
Combine pears with watercress, endive, walnuts and dress lightly with lemon juice, EVOO, salt and pepper, and mix in cheese. Serve salad alongside chops and potato wedges.
