Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- While pan heats, pat pork dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add pork and half the Cream Sauce Spice Blend to a shallow dish, then toss to coat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then pork. Sear, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 4-5 min (TIP: Pork will finish cooking in step 2).
- Transfer pork to one side of the prepared baking sheet, reserving fat in the pan. Spoon 1 tbsp BBQ sauce over each pork chop.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut peppers into 1/2-inch pieces, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers!)
- Add peppers and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the other side of the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Broil pork and peppers in the middle of the oven, until peppers are lightly charred and pork is cooked through, 5-7 min**
- Meanwhile, reheat the pan with reserved pork fat (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add mirepoix. Cook, stirring often, until golden and beginning to soften, 1-2 min. Sprinkle remaining Cream Sauce Spice Blend over top, then stir to coat.
- Add beans along with liquid, stock powder, tomato sauce base, remaining BBQ sauce, 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar.
- Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-4 min.
- When pork chops are finished, transfer to a cutting board to rest.
- Stir peppers into the pan with beans.
- Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch-wide slices lengthwise.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave, 30 sec.
- Discard aluminum foil, then arrange ciabatta slices on the same baking sheet used to broil pork and peppers. Spoon melted butter over ciabatta slices. Season with salt and pepper.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on toasties so they don't burn!)
- Meanwhile, add spinach to the pan with beans. Stir until spinach wilts, 30 sec.
- Thinly slice pork.
- Divide beans and pork between bowls.
- Serve toasties alongside for dipping.
If you've opted for double pork, prepare, cook and plate it in the same way the recipe instructs you to prepare and cook the regular portion of pork. Work in batches, if necessary.
