I had some leftover pomegranate juice, and it's too expensive to throw out. I'm glad I found this pork recipe so I could use the juice. The spices on the pork were the perfect match for the sauce. Aubrey and I enjoyed this meal next to our decorated Christmas tree. I served it with green beans and cauliflower.
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut pork loin chops
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/3 cup chopped shallots
3/4 cup pomegranate juice
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; sprinkle over pork chops.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook 3 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm. Add shallots to pan; cook 45 seconds, stirring constantly. Add juice, 1 Tablespoon sugar, and vinegar; bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until slightly thick. Serve pork with sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and about 2 Tbsp sauce)
