Method

• step 1

  Put the sweet potatoes and garlic clove into a microwaveable bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and season, then seal tightly with clingfilm and microwave for 12 minutes until completely soft.

• step 2

  Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat a heavy-bottomed, ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat, drizzle the pork chops with the oil and season well. Cook the chops on their fat end for 1-2 minutes or until golden and some of the fat has rendered, then cook on each side for 1-2 minutes or until really golden. Mix together the marmalade and honey, and spoon thickly over the tops of the chops.

• step 3

  Put into the oven and roast for 6-8 minutes, depending on thickness, baste well with the glaze then transfer to a plate and rest, loosely covered, for 5 minutes.

• step 4

  Tip the sweet potatoes into a clean bowl with the marmalade, lime juice and coriander, and squeeze the garlic clove out of its skin into the bowl. Season and mash well, potato skins and all.

• step 5

  Divide the sweet potato between 2 plates and serve with the pork chops and any glaze and resting juices, sugar snap peas and lime wedges to squeeze over.
