Ingredients
  

For the Berry Sauce:

  • 1 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp Maple Syrup (or Honey - omit for Whole30 or use orange juice instead)
  • 1 tsp Water

For the Pork:

  • 8 boneless thin-cut Pork Chops
  • ½ cup Coconut Flour (or Tigernut Flour or Cassava Flour)
  • ¼ cup Tapioca Starch (or Arrowroot Starch)
  • 1.5 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil (or Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, or Lard)

For the Brussels Sprouts Slaw:

  • 1 lb Brussels Sprouts, ends removed and thinly sliced
  • 1 Red Apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 Shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 Lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup ( or Honey - omit for Whole30 or use orange juice instead)
  • ¼ cup Avocado Oil (or Olive Oil)
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start the berry sauce by putting the berries, maple syrup, and water in a small saucepan overlow heat. Cover and stir occasionally while cooking everything else.
  • For the pork, put the coconut flour, tapioca starch, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl or dish and mix together. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the oil to the pan. Dip the pork chops in the flour mixture, coating both sides, and then place in the oil in the pan. Let sit for 3-4 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. You may have to do this in several batches, depending on the size of your pan. Don’t overcrowd the pan, and add more oil in between batches.

  • While the pork is cooking, prep the ingredients for the brussels sprouts slaw. Slice the brussels sprouts, apple, and shallot, mince the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon. Put everything into a large bowl and then toss with the maple syrup, avocado oil, and sea salt.

Notes

You can omit the tapioca starch (or arrowroot starch) but the pork won’t get as crispy
