Ingredients

  • 3 cups — water

  • 1 ½ cups — uncooked basmati rice

  • 4 cups — cauliflower florets

  • 4 (4 ounce) — pork chops, trimmed

  • 4 teaspoons — curry powder, divided

  • undefined — salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon — olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons — all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup — low-sodium chicken broth

  • ½ cup — buttermilk

  • ¼ cup — apple chutney

  • 6 — green onions, chopped, divided

Directions

  • Bring 3 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer cauliflower to a bowl; set aside.
  • Season pork chops with 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a platter; cover to keep warm.
  • Sprinkle remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder and flour into the skillet. Whisk in chicken broth, buttermilk, and apple chutney; cook until sauce has thickened.
  • Stir in cauliflower and 1/2 green onions; cook until heated through.
  • Place 3/4 cup cooked rice on each plate; top each with 1 pork chop. Spoon curry-cauliflower sauce over pork chops; sprinkle remaining 1/2 green onions.
