Orange Glazed Pork Chops Time: 30 minutes
2 - 4 pork chops, depending on size, 14oz total (400gr)
Marinade
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs orange marmalade
3 tbs dry sherry
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder - or 2 cloves minced
In small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the marinade - you need to use the whisk to break up the marmalade. Pour over chops and let marinate for 15 minutes (or longer...). Remove from marinade and cook on barbecue 10 - 15 minutes turning once or under broiler for 12 - 15 minutes turning once - or sauté in large skillet 10 - 15 minutes (you get the picture). Baste with any remaining sauce. In all cases it depends on thickness and test for doneness by slicing and peaking. Remove and serve.
Oriental Courgette and Brown Rice Salad Time: 30 minutes
1/2 cup brown rice - I use 'Uncle Ben's' which is all I can get and it is quick cooking. It looks like
brown Basmati and cooks in 15 minutes. You could substitute Basmati.
1 cup chicken stock or whatever your rice calls for
1 medium zucchini (courgette) about 8" (20cm)
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tbs toasted pine nuts
Vinaigrette
Cook rice according to package directions. Mince garlic. Slice zucchini in half the long way and then into 1/4" (.6cm) slices. Heat medium nonstick over medium heat. Add pine nuts and toast, shaking pan occasionally until golden, 4 - 5 minutes. Remove nuts and set aside. In same skillet heat oils over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and soy sauce and sauté briefly. Turn heat to medium, add courgette and continue to sauté for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until zucchini is tender. When rice is done put into a medium bowl. When zucchini is done add to rice. Add the vinaigrette and toss well. Sprinkle with pine nuts. Serve.
Vinaigrette
2 tbs brown sugar
2 1/2 tbs red wine vinegar
1 tbs snipped fresh parsley
1 tbs water
2 tsp oil - sesame or walnut is best
2 tsp soy sauce
Put all ingredients in small bowl and whisk well - will not emulsify.
