Pork Chops with Orange and Maple Syrup Glaze

This recipe is from the $120 Food Challenge Cookbook and is wonderfully moist, tasty and affordable. After marinating the pork for 30mins, cooking only takes about 10mins so it's quite a fast meal. This serves 4 with a salad or steamed veg on the side.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• Spray oil for cooking
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed or finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped coriander (I used dried)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon smoky paprika
• 4 pork chops (I used heart smart steaks)

Method:

1. Mix all ingredients, except the pork, in a small bowl
2. Remove 3 tablespoons of the marinade and set aside
3. Place the remaining marinade in a non-metallic bowl, add the pork and coat well
4. Cover and marinate for about 30mins (or overnight for extra flavour)
5. Remove the pork from the marinade and pan-fry in spray oil 5mins each side (I used a griddle)
6. Alternatively you could BBQ or grill them
7. Brush remainder of marinade over the pork while cooking

This was a winner with the family and will become a family staple.  D-E-L-icious  XD
