Need a fun recipe in your back pocket for those “oh shoot” moments? Now you have one to bring to the table! This is a well-balanced meal with all the right fixin’s. And best thing yet? You can mix and match with a lot of other foods. Instead of pork, maybe use chicken; instead of cauliflower, maybe it’s green beans? And instead of quinoa, what about brown rice or cauliflower rice? The options are endless.

Quinoa is prepared just as a normal grain “al dente,” with some turmeric to add color. The cauliflower had parsley and turmeric for a stellar flavor combo, then cooked right with the tenderloin in the oven. Bon appetit!

INGREDIENTS

·       4 pork chops

·       1 tbsp olive oil

·       1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

INSTRUCTIONS

1.    Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.

2.    In a medium size bowl whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and Sriracha sauce. Pour over pork chops and let marinade for about 20 minutes.

3.    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet for medium high heat. Add pork chops, without marinade, and cook for about 5 minutes for the first side, or until it gets a nice brownish color. Flip the pork chops and pour the marinade over them. Cook another 5 min on this side.

4.    Place the skillet in the oven to finish cooking them. Roast for about 10 minutes, or until pork chops are completely cooked through.

Notes

If your pork chops are not very thick, you might not need to finish cooking them in the oven.
