My husband found this recipe in a magazine. Makes tender chops with a subtle orange flavor. Very good.
Ingredients:
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 pork loin chops with bone (1/2 inch thick)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Directions:
1. Add the first 5 ingredients to a small bowl; stir and mix well; set aside.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, brown the pork chops on each side in melted butter (I sprinkle the chops with a little salt and pepper before browning).
3. Pour the orange juice mixture over the chops; bring to a boil.
4. Lower the heat and cover the skillet.
5. Simmer for 6-8 minutes or until juices run clear.
6. Transfer chops to a serving platter and keep warm.
7. Mix together the cornstarch and water; stir until smooth.
8. Add to the skillet; stir and bring to a boil.
9. Continue stirring and cooking for 2 minutes or until thickened.
10. Serve sauce over pork chops.
