What it concludes

• Brining pork chops in a salt solution with seasonings introduces moisture and flavor so the meat does not dry out during cooking.
• Slitting the fat cap on pork chops every two inches prevents the fat from shrinking and warping the meat while cooking.

• Using a food processor with cooked sweet potatoes, garlic, ginger, cumin, maple syrup, Marsala wine, and butter creates a smooth mashed sweet potato side dish.
