This delicious combination of pork and spicy cherry sauce is so quick and easy. Canned cherries work well, too. Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
4 boneless pork loin chops (5 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 cup pitted dark sweet cherries, halved |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons dried cherries |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce |
1 tablespoon orange marmalade |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted |
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over pork chops. In a large skillet, cook chops, uncovered, in oil over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat juices run clear. Remove to a serving platter and keep warm.
2. In the same skillet, combine the sweet cherries, orange juice, dried cherries, vinegar, chipotle peppers, marmalade and garlic. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Spoon over chops; sprinkle with almonds and green onion. Yield: 4 servings.
