Ingredients
-
4 pork loin centre chops, boneless, (1 lb/500 g) or bone in
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 shallots, or half small onion, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/3 cup sodium-reduced chicken stock
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup apple jelly
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, (or 1/2 tsp/2 mL crumbled dried)
Preparation:
Sprinkle pork chops with half each of the salt and pepper.
In large skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; brown pork chops, turning once, until golden. Transfer to plate. Drain fat from pan.
Add remaining oil to pan; fry shallots, garlic and remaining salt and pepper over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes.
Add chicken stock, dried cranberries, apple jelly, vinegar, and rosemary. Stir until jelly melts and cranberries soften, about 4 minutes.
Return pork and any juices to pan, turning to coat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, turning once, until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork to platter; keep warm.
Boil sauce until syrupy, about 1 minute. Pour over pork.
