Pork Chops to “Bragg” About

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

If you like pork chops you are going to love this dish.

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 2 center cut loin pork chops 6 – 8 oz each
• 1/3 cup of Bragg’s Aminos
• 3 Tbl of balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp of Truvia
• ¼ – ½ tsp of chili pepper flakes
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

In a large zip lock bag add the Braggs, vinegar, Truvia, pepper flakes and garlic. Swish it around and add the pork chops. Marinate for one hour or all day. Don’t throw out the marinade.

Fire up the grill and grill the chops on medium or alternatively sear one side for 2 minutes on medium and then put them in an ovenproof pan at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until no pink remains.

While the last few minutes of cooking continue, pour the marinade into a very small saucepan. Add a good sprinkle of sesame seeds. Cook the marinade on a low boil to reduce it to a thicker sauce. It will only make about a ¼  cup of sauce, so watch it carefully. This is just an extra drizzle for your finished pork chops.

When the chops are done serve them with the sauce.

As a side dish, I cooked up some pea pods (snow peas) a bit of chopped bok choy and some cherry tomatoes. It’s easy to put these all in a sauté pan with a ¼” of water and some Bragg’s. Then just boil till done.

This dish can also be made with steak or chicken.

It can also be easily transported in a container and eaten cold or reheated in the microwave.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
