Spice-Seared Pork with Berry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 (14.5-oz) can beef broth
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 cups fresh blackberries and/or raspberries (10–12 oz), divided
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon Chinese 5-spice powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 4 (¾-inch thick) boneless pork chops (1 ½ lb)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
Steps
- Combine broth and sugar in small saucepan; bring to a boil on medium-high to dissolve sugar. When boiling, stir in one-half of the berries.
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Combine flour, five-spice, and ½ teaspoon salt in bag; shake to combine. Place pork chops in bag; shake to coat.
- Place oil in pan. Remove pork from bag, shake off excess flour, and add pork to pan. Cook 3–4 minutes on each side or until 145°F.
- Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into berry sauce, along with pepper, garlic, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to boil; cook and stir 5 minutes or until berries soften and begin to release their juices. Stir remaining berries into sauce and serve over pork chops.
Pineapple-Pecan Coleslaw
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- ½ cup pecan pieces
- 1 (8-oz) can pineapple tidbits in juice (undrained)
- ½ cup coleslaw dressing
Prep
- Cut cabbage in half (reserve one-half for other use). Slice finely.
Steps
- Place pecans in small sauté pan on medium-high; cook and stir 3–4 minutes or until fragrant.
- Drain pineapple, reserving ¼ cup of the juice. Place juice in large bowl; whisk in dressing until blended.
- Stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Chill or serve at room temperature. (Makes 8 servings.)
Serving Suggestions
- Complete your meal with mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, and lemon pie for dessert.
- Be sure to let the berry mixture return to a full boil after the cornstarch is added; otherwise the sauce will not thicken properly.
