Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Servings: Serves 4

• 4 pork loin chops (6-8 oz ea). Make SURE you get loin chops (cut from the pork loin) and NOT rib chops. The rib chops will be too fatty and may stall your weight loss.
• ¼ cup of Dijon mustard
• 1 Tbl of minced fresh tarragon
• ¼ – ½ tsp of Truvia. This is just to take the bite out of the mustard. If you like tangy mustard you might not need this.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Take out an ovenproof pan. Lightly spray with olive oil spray. Lightly spray the tops of the chops.

Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl mix the mustard, tarragon and Truvia.

Spread it evenly across the tops of the chops.

Put in your oven to roast for 20 – 30 minutes or until the chops are 160 degrees or no pink remains (as you choose). Some like pork cooked until there is NO pink. The more contemporary way to cook it is to have some pink left. All of the dangerous germs are gone when the pork reaches 135 degrees so 160 is perfectly safe for consumption.

Serving Suggestions:

I serve these with simple roasted green beans or roasted asparagus. To make life super simple you can put your lightly sprayed and salted beans or asparagus in another oven proof pan and they can roast right alongside each other. The veggie of choice will cook in about 15 minutes so just put them in a few minutes after the pork goes in.  Most chops will be done in 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
