40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • Nonstick aluminum foil
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 1 small shallot
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • 1 lb fresh carrots
  • 3 limes, for juice
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (about 1 ½ lb)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 425°F; line baking sheet with foil. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Peel and grate ginger (2 teaspoons). Slice shallot. Chop cilantro. Peel carrots. Juice limes (3 tablespoons).
    2. Combine in bowl: fish sauce, ginger, shallots, cilantro, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar; divide mixture in half. Combine one-half sauce mixture with mayonnaise and reserve for carrots. Set remaining half sauce aside.
    3. Combine in second bowl: red pepper, 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Rub carrots with mixture and spread in single layer on baking sheet. Roast carrots 20–25 minutes until tender.
    4. Meanwhile, coat pork with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then season with salt and pepper (wash hands). Grill 4–5 minutes on each side until grill-marked and 145°F, basting with reserved lime sauce during last minute of cook time. Serve pork with remaining lime sauce on the side for dipping; drizzle carrots with mayonnaise sauce.
