Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Zest and quarter lemon. Peel and mince or grate ginger until you have 1 tsp. Pick rosemary leaves from stems; mince leaves until you have 1 tsp.
* Step 3
Place potatoes in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes.
* Step 4
Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with sour cream and 1tbsp butter until smooth and creamy, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While potatoes cook, pat chops dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes.

Roast on middle rack until pork is cooked through and green beans are tender, 10-12 minutes.
* Step 10
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add minced ginger and minced rosemary; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Stir in jam, stock concentrate, mustard, and ¼ cup water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1tbsp butter until melted.
* Step 12
Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest. Carefully toss green beans with lemon zest.
