So I never did finish my post for December. Where did that month go? I think I'll start fresh with a new recipe. It's healthy for all of you with New Year's resolutions to shed a few pounds. I know I fall in that category. We had our share of baked goodies this Christmas.
With two boys involved in sports and music and other after school activities, it's always a challenge to come up with quick dinners that everyone likes and qualifies as healthy and doesn't have milk, butter and cheese, of course. I am embarrassed to admit it, but quite often I decide what we are having for dinner about an hour before we eat. So that's exactly what happened with the pork loin chops yesterday. They spent the day thawing in the refrigerator and then around 5:30 I found myself scrounging through the food pantry looking for something to inspire a recipe. What I came up with only needed a little olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary and a can of diced tomatoes with peppers. This is how I did it and it took me less than a half hour. And did I mention all of my picky eaters loved it?! Sorry, I did not have time for photos this time. It was a quick dinner then off to guitar lessons.
Ingredients:
1-2 pounds pork loin chops (boneless)
kosher salt
pepper
1 fresh rosemary sprig, or about 1 tablespoon dried rosemary leaves
olive oil
1 8oz can diced tomatoes with peppers
Directions:
1. Coat pork loins with salt, pepper and rosemary
2. Heat about one tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Brown pork chops in skillet about two minutes per side, turning twice.
4. Add tomatoes and peppers to skillet. (I ran the tomatoes and peppers through the blender, since the kids will not eat whole tomatoes and peppers)
5. Cover and simmer until cooked, ten to twenty minutes. I did twenty minutes on a lower temperature.
Serve with rice and sauteed vegetables.
