Making: Sweet and spicy pork chops with caramelized onions, sweet potatoes and asparagus. 1 serving prepared  Here's what I have: 1/2  Cup Broth  6 oz Pork chops  1/2  Cup Sweet potato cubed 8 oz Asparagus  1/4  Cup White onion  ** 1 Tbsp Butter cut in half Spice Island sweet and spicy seasoning How to prepare: Since sweet potatoes take a while to cook in the oven I decided to steam them. While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside.   The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
