Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes. Trim green beans. Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems. Finely chop. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with thyme, salt and pepper.
Add sweet potatoes, squash, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1-2 inches) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return sweet potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then pork. Pan-fry until golden, 2-3 min per side, then transfer pork to a foiled-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar over tops of pork chops. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.**Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add green beans and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates, 4-5 min. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic and walnuts. Cook, stirring often, until walnuts are fragrant and green beans are tender-crisp, 1 min.Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, stir together 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic, mayo and grainy mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Mash 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter into sweet potatoes and squash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.Divide, mash, pork chops and green beans between plates. Serve the grainy mustard aioli on the side for dipping.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The pork chops and grainy mustard aioli were praised for their delicious taste, with some calling the dish "restaurant class."
- Ease of prep: Some found the brown sugar application tricky, as it melted and ran off the pork chops during cooking.
- Suggestions: Consider using less squash and sweet potato; some found the combination too much. Try increasing the brown sugar on the chops for more flavour.
- Portions: The sweet potato and squash portion was generous, though some felt it was excessive.
- Texture: For better texture, cook the green beans to your preferred tenderness and ensure the squash isn't overcooked.
