I LOVE this recipe. I found it online and have made a few tweaks to it. It is very quick and easy to make, even for beginner cooks. Ingredients:
2 boneless pork loin chops, 3/4 inch thick |
1 teaspoon oil (for frying) |
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1/3 cup orange juice |
1 teaspoon brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 dash cinnamon |
1 dash pepper |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 teaspoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Pre heat oven to 350°. In a small, non-stick skillet, brown pork chops in oil. Place in an 8 inch square baking dish, coated with non-stick cooking spray. Layer with sweet potato. Drizzle with butter.
2. In small saucepan, combine orange juice, brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour over sweet potato.
3. Cover and bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until pork reached 160° and potato is tender. Remove pork and potato, and keep warm.
4. Pour pan juices into a small saucepan. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir into juices. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Serve over pork and sweet potato.
