This is a delicious and well balanced meal! Pictured here is balsamic pork, roasted brussel sprouts, and simple pasta! This meal was easy and sooooo good!!! I made this for my boyfriend and his teammates while I was in Germany and they were all fans!
Ingredients:
Four thin cut pork chops
Onion powder
Sea Salt and pepper
Organic balsamic dressing (look for one lower in fat carbs and sugars)
1/3 cup chopped white onion
Directions:
Cut any extra fat off the pork chops after you thaw them out and then cut the meat into smaller bite size pieces (can cover smaller pieces with more balsamic, then line a bowl with the balsamic dressing and soak the pork chops for 5 min each side (or ten min if you can cover the meat with balsamic in a bowl.
Cook them in a large non stick pan on medium heat until they are cooked through. (if you need to use non stick spray, I always use natural grape seed oil spray). I then chopped up my white onion and cooked that with the meat. I seasoned the pork with sea salt, pepper, and onion powder as I cooked them and I flipped the meat as needed.
For my side dishes I just washed brussel spouts and cut them in half and cooked them in a pan in a little bit of olive oil with more chopped onion, sea salt and vinegar. For the pasta salad I wasn't able to find brown rice pasta in Germany which I usually would use so I used a little over half a box of regular penne pasta cooked then cooled with cold water and let it dry for a bit then mixed the pasta with chopped cherry tomatoes, two good squirts of light mayo, sea salt, pepper, and onion powder. The whole meal served four (could probably feed more seeing as I was feeding just myself and my boyfriend and his two teammates after their practice lol)
