One of my favorite pork chop recipes was Apricot Pork, where you browned them and then sauteed them in fresh apricots, honey and garlic. But, apricots are super expensive right now because they're not really in season. (Not to mention, hard to find...) So, I was just wondering what everyone's favorite healthy pork chop recipe is?

    could you substitue apples?
  • I have a couple... will have to post one of them when i get home its a sweet and spicy one. Theres mustard, honey, red pepper flakes and you pan fry them...

    The other: Coat chops (boneless) in dijon mustard and a little salt & pepper. Then dip in panko crumbs (brown in the oven first i spray a little Pam olive oil on them and broil for a couple minutes) Then bake at 375 for 25-45 minutes depending on the thickness.

    I don't know why but my favorite is just a bit of olive oil in a pan and sear them up for a few minutes. Delicious!

    Not sure if this will fit your tatebuds, but I make a chile verde (green chile) with all types of pork. I chop the pork up in bite-size pieces, season with pepper then throw them in a pan with green chile sauce. You can use the jar stuff they have a most markets, or make your own. Here's the recipe I use for my green chile:
    **note: this makes a LARGE bowl, but we use it on everything!

    6 to 10 tomatillos
    1-4 jalapenos (depending on how much heat you want)
    1/2 cup onions
    2 large cloves garlic
    about 1 cup cilantro (or more if desired)
    salt

    Peel and wash tomatillos then boil with garlic and jalapenos until they change color. pour a bit of the water they've boiled in into a blender along with tomatillos, onions, garlic and cilanto. Start with 1 jalapeno. Add more to get desired heat. Add salt to taste.

    Use this over eggs, beans, on pork, for tacos and burritos, or just for chips and salsa. I bake my own tortilla chips! cut up corn tortillas into triangles. place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Spray cooking spray over tortillas then add salt, if desired. Cook at 350 for aprox 15 minutes or until brown and crispy.

    1 pound(s) lean veal loin

    3 small sweet potato(es), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
    2 medium apple(s), McIntosh, cored and diced
    1 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce
    2 spray(s) cooking spray
    1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
    2 tsp Dijon mustard
    1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
    Instructions

    * Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.

    * Season veal all over with salt and pepper; place in prepared pan. Arrange potatoes and apples around veal; coat apples and potatoes with cooking spray.

    * In a small bowl, combine applesauce, vinegar, mustard and cumin; pour over veal.

    * Roast veal until cooked through (or a thermometer inserted in center reads 160ºF) and potatoes are fork-tender, about 40 minutes. Let veal stand 10 minutes before slicing crosswise into thin slices. Yields about 3 ounces veal and 1 cup vegetable-fruit mixture per serving.
