These pork chops don't take hours to marinade or require any special equipment; simply place the pork chops, flour, curry powder, and salt in a plastic bag and shake to coat the pork. Cook the pork in some hot oil for just about 3 minutes on each side, then add the yams, pears, pear juice, and thyme. Let all the ingredients get to know each other and the pork cook through, and you're done! It all takes less than 25 minutes to put together. For a slightly different flavor, you can use pineapple chunks or apricots in place of the pears or swap winter squash for the sweet potatoes.
