Well it's that time of year again. That magical time when Casey starts a new diet and exercise program and suddenly loses 20 pounds like it's nothing. He'll tell you it's due to the humidity but don't believe him, he's been doing really well--keeping a food journal and everything. As such, we have been trying new healthy recipes. This one is from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook (thanks MaryAnne) and we really enjoyed it. If you've never used Hoisin sauce then FYI it is an Asian sauce.
Ingredients:
Olive oil in a sprayer
4 (4-ounce) trimmed, boneless pork loin chops, about 3/4-inch thick
1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
Directions:
Preheat the broiler. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray the foil with olive oil.
Lightly spray both sides of the chops with olive oil and season evenly with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the chops on the prepared baking sheet and broil about 3 inches from the heat for 2 minutes per side (be sure to leave the door open a crack when broiling). Remove from the oven and brush or spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of hoisin over the top of each chop. Continue broiling for 1 minute longer. Turn the chops and brush each with an additional 1 1/2 teaspoons sauce. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until the pork is just barely pink inside and the hoisin sauce is a bit caramelized. Serve immediately.
