MIM 11: Mustard and Cranberry pork chops

MIM 11: Mustard and Cranberry pork chops

Posted on

I love all television programs that feature on Wednesday nights and I don’t really have time to make food! On Wednesday nights I make meals that can be prepared in minutes!! 

I love cranberries, but I totally forgot about it, until Sam of Drizzle and Dip posted her lovely banana bread with cranberries and nuts! 

So my love for cranberries came back and I made this lovely quick pork chops. 

I always see chefs naming their favourite ingredients and then think of mine… lemon, garlic, basil, coconut milk, thyme, jeera powder, coriander spice, fresh ginger, butter, olive oil, cranberries, etc, etc!! I don’t think I will ever be able to choose! What are your favourite ingredients for cooking? 

These pork chops are marinated in a mixture of mustard, honey, cranberries and some other ingredients for an hour or two and then baked in an oven for 30 minutes and served with broken potatoes or mash… delicious!! 

Ingredients:

4 pork chops

Salt and black pepper

60g craisins (dried cranberries)

45ml wholegrain mustard

45ml soya sauce

30ml honey

2 garlic cloves, minced

30m olive oil

zest of one orange 

Wilted spinach topped with black pepper 

Season the pork chops with salt and freshly grounded black pepper. Place into a glass dish.

Mix the craisins, mustard, soya sauce, honey, garlic, olive oil and orange zest together. Pour over the chops and marinade for an hour or two.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Place the chops on top of an oven pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Turn over and bake for another 15 minutes.

Serve on top of wilted spinach with some broken potatoes or potato mash on the side.

    Hiya, I am really glad I’ve found this information. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and net and this is really annoying. A good site with interesting content, this is what I need. Thank you for keeping this website, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Cant find it.
