HONEY-SESAME PORK CHOPS

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops, 3/8-inch thick
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 14½-oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seed
 

Cooking Directions

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add chops and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes on each side. Add tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, cinnamon and honey; heat to a simmer; cover and simmer until chops are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove chops, reserve. Heat sauce to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens. Return chops to pan with sesame seed. Heat through and serve.

Serving Suggestions
This “quick-braise” dish features sautéed pork chops, seasoned with spicy ginger, cinnamon, and garlic, which simmer briefly in chopped tomatoes. The ready-made pan sauce calls for rice, mashed potatoes or Oriental noodles as an accompaniment. Add a green salad tossed with garlic vinaigrette.
