    Prepare 2 cups of rice. Once rice is cooked add 1/4 cup of coconut milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cover to keep warm.

    Ingredients:

    • 4 (1 &1/2inch Boneless Pork Chops
    • 1/4 cup softened butter
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 Tbsp garlic paste
    • 1 18-ounce jar of apricot preserves
    • 1 tablespoon cayenne & garlic infused honey
    • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
    • 2 Tbsp butter

    Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C)
    2. Spread butter (1/4 cup) all over pork. Season on both sides with kosher salt and ground pepper.
    3. Combine garlic paste, apricot preserves, honey and season with salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Separate half of the apricot glaze mixture and combine with the cooked mushrooms after they have been cooked with the butter and fresh parsley.
    4. Cook the mushrooms in pan with melted butter and season with one teaspoon of chopped parsley. Combine half of the apricot glaze once the mushrooms are done. Cover the pan with lid and simmer on very low heat.
    5. Roast the pork in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove pork from the oven and brush with half of apricot sauce. Return the pork to the oven. Continue roasting, basting occasionally with the remaining sauce, until the pork is no longer pink in the center, an instant read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C)
    6. Once the pork is done place on the rice and cover the pork with the Apricot Mushroom Glaze Sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
