Pureed sweet potato puree makes the perfect bed for these juicy chops. Coconut milk, another pantry staple, gives it the ultimate silky texture. Coconut milk also finds its way into the earthy poblano cream sauce that comes together with just a few simple and fresh ingredients.

The final element of this dish is the crunchy and vibrant slaw. Crisp jicama is combined with spicy radishes. A light and tangy dressing of lime and agave ties it all together.
