Orange soy sauce pork chops

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 Pork chops -- 1 inch thick
11 ounces Mandarin oranges in juice --
Drained
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 Clove garlic -- pressed
¼ teaspoon Black pepper -- freshly
Ground
8 Sprigs thyme -- or 1/2 tsp
Dried
3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

With a sharp knife, lightly score the pork chops in a crisscross pattern on each side. Place in a shallow bowl in a single layer.

In a food processor, blend the oranges to form a thick juice. Add the soy sauce sugar, garlic, pepper and thyme, and pulse to blend.

Pour the mixture over the chops, cover and let sit for at least 30 minutes. Drain and reserve the marinade.

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet. Add the chops and brown on both sides over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and pour the reserved marinade over the chops. Cover and cook until the chops are done, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chops to a heated platter.

Reduce the marinade in the skillet until it is thickened and syrupy.

Pour over the chops and serve immediately.
