Easy Pork Chop Recipes For Dinner

Pork Chop Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound shoulder roast pork, boneless cut into ¾ inch pieces
1 can tomatoes (14 to15 ounce can), diced and un-drained
1 ½ tablespoon all purpose flour
½ medium sweet potato, peeled and sliced
1 medium red potato, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
1 cup frozen green beans, thawed
1 medium carrot, sliced
1 tablespoon cilantro
1/8 cup water, tap water
½ teaspoon freshly ground ginger
1 tablespoon cooking oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup plain yogurt, fat free or low fat

Method:

1. Combine cumin and all purpose flour in a re-sealable plastic bag. Add chopped pork pieces and shake the bag well to coat the flour and cumin mixture over the pork pieces.
2. Heat oil in a medium size Dutch oven and cook meat and onion in it half at a time to ensure even browning of the meat and onions. Drain off any excess fat after the meat is browned and return the meat and onion mixture back to the Dutch oven.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
4. In the Dutch oven along with the meat and onions stir in ginger, un-drained tomatoes, salt, black pepper, sugar, cinnamon, and water. Add sweet potatoes, red potatoes, carrots, and green beans and stir well. Over medium heat boil the pork and vegetable mixture.
5. Cover the container and bake in the preheated oven for about 60 to 70 minutes or until the vegetables and meat are tender. Over individual servings sprinkle parsley or cilantro. Serve with plain low fat yogurt if desired. This recipe makes 4 servings.
6. If you use slow cooker to make this recipe then coat the pork and brown the onion as mentioned above in step 1 and 2. In a medium size slow cooker combine red potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots. Stir in browned pork and onion mixture. Then add water, salt, tomatoes, black pepper, sugar, ginger, and cinnamon. Cover the cooker and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low heat setting or for 4 to 5 hours on high heat setting. Add green beans for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve as directed above.
