Life can be hectic, so I have a stash of quick recipes in the back of my mind that I can cook up when I need a (non-frozen) dinner in a short amount of time.
Pork Chops with Brussels Sprouts
Ingredients you’ll need:
Dijon mustard, maple syrup, thin sliced pork chops, salt and pepper
In a small bowl, mix two tablespoons dijon mustard and one tablespoon real maple syrup. Whisk in one tablespoon canola oil*. Coat each pork chop with mixture, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Place in a covered skillet on medium heat. Cook through.
Cut bottoms off of Brussels sprouts, then cut each in half*. Put two tablespoons canola oil in a skillet and coat sprouts in skillet oil. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning (mixture of Oregano, Thyme, and Basil). Cook until slightly browned. I like mine crispier, so cook to your liking!
Serve with applesauce.
Items marked * are things you can do ahead of time, like the day before, if you know you’ll be strapped for time.
Do you have a go-to recipe when you know you have limited time to make something fairly healthy?
You had me at 20 min and dinner!! This sounds amazing and funny enough pork chops was the first thing I cooked for my husband when we started dating!! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
I'm thinking about making "20 minute dinners" a regular series, since it can be so hard to make a good dinner in a short amount of time. And that's cute! How do you normally make them?
yum! I'm going to try this one.
