Here's a FaST recipe! I have a friend who says if a meal can't be prepared, from start to finish, in 30 minutes or less -- she doesn't have time for it. So this is for her!! Pork chops, a vegetable succotash & scalloped potatoes. The most time-consuming part of the cooking is just waiting for the potatoes to get done (about 30 minutes; they are just the kind out of a box.)
Ingredients:
4 to 6 pork chops, no bones
3 tsp olive oil
Mr P's Original seasoning (Moore's Marinade or Dale's Sauce also great)
1 small onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cup frozen corn kernels
10 oz frozen lima beans
2 tbsp dried parsley
Preparation:
1. Prepare boxed scalloped potatoes & bake as directed. This is your "rate-limiting" step.
2. Tenderize & season pork chops as instructed below. I like to let the meat marinate while I chop vegetables.
3. Chop up the onion & red bell pepper.
4. Now you are ready to begin cooking the pork chops!
Directions:
1. Using a meat mallet, pound the pork chops to make them more tender. Then sprinkle with Mr. P's seasoning or marinate as you prefer. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 2 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chops to skillet. Cook 8 minutes or until browned outside & still slightly pink in center, turning over once. Transfer chops to a plate & cover with foil to keep warm.
2. In same skillet, heat remaining oil over heat. Add onion & red pepper; cook 4 minutes or until veggies begin to soften.
3. Stir in corn, limas, 1/4 cup water & garlic salt to desired taste. Cover & cook 5 minutes. Stir parsley into succotash.
Mmm Mmm!! Yummy!!
