Ingredients

FOR PORK CHOPS:

10 oz pork chops
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt

FOR BARBECUE SAUCE:

1/3 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup beef stock
2 tbsp coconut aminos
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp Swerve
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional
1/4 tsp sea salt

FOR SWEET POTATO MASH:

2 medium sweet potatoes peeled
1 tbsp grass-fed butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions

IN a small stock pot, combine ingredients for barbecue sauce and bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a small jar.
FILL a medium stock pot with water and chop potatoes into large chunks. Add sweet potatoes to water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium/low and continue to boil for 20 minutes. Alternate cooking for sweet potatoes: ADD 1” of water to instant pot with grate. Add raw sweet potato chunks and set to manual high pressure for 10 minutes.
WHILE sweet potatoes cook, preheat grill to 400 degrees and rub pork chops with cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder and sea salt. Place pork chops on grill and cook 10 minutes. Turn and baste each pork chop with 1 tbsp BBQ sauce. Continue to grill 10 minutes longer.
MASH sweet potatoes and stir in butter, cinnamon and sea salt. Serve 1 chop with half of sweet potato mash.

Notes

*My suggestion is to make this in bulk and then freeze some! You can also use store bought bbq sauce to keep things simple, it’s just harder to find one without added sugar. In Phase 4, having a little sugar in your bbq is likely not going to be a problem either. I just wanted you to have the option of a healthy homemade version!
