Orange Salsa Pork Chops
- 4 pork center-cut loin chops (each about 3/4 inch thick, about 6 oz.)
- 1 teaspoon salad oil
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup tomato salsa
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt
- Fresh cilantro sprigs
- Orange slices
- Trim excess fat from pork. Place a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, add oil and chops. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
- Add orange juice, salsa, sugar, cumin, and ginger. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until pork is tender when pierced, 40 to 45 minutes. Skim off fat; discard. Transfer pork to a serving dish and keep warm. Boil sauce, uncovered, over high heat until reduced to about 1 cup, about 4 minutes. Add salt to taste. Garnish with cilantro and orange slices.
