Thread: Cranberry Pork Chops

This recipe is low in calories and it also sounds delicious. I haven't made pork chops like this before so I wanted to try this.

Ingredients

3/4 tsp. unsalted butter
3/4 tsp. oil
4 boneless pork loin chops, 1/2 inch thick
2/3 cup onion, chopped
3-1/2 Tbs. carrots, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup plus 3 Tbs. chicken stock
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. red wine vinegar
1/3 cup cranberries

Directions

Heat butter and oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Brown chops 1 minute per side. Set aside.

Sauté onions and carrots 5-7 minutes until brown and tender. Return chops to pan and add stock. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 10-12 minutes, until pork is cooked throughout. Remove chops and keep warm.

Add remaining ingredients. Cook 4-5 minutes until cranberries pop. Return chops to skillet and cook until pork is heated throughout. Serve sauce over chops.

170 calories for pork chop? Seriously? Wow! This will be on my menu tomorrow.

Hmmm.. Use cranberry as the sauce right? I want to try it on lamb first.. I don't eat pork anymore.

lamb is great with cranberry sauce. I think this recipe might have been made as a different version of that dish.. Let me give this one a try too.
