This recipe has a pretty different mix of ingredients. It is a great combination of sweet and sour. The cool part is, the sweet part of the sauce comes from an unexpected source: the balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

  • Two pork cutlets
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 lime (juice)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • Salt & pepper

Tools & cookware

  • Grill
  • Sauce pan with a lid

Instructions

  • Season the pork with salt and pepper.
  • Grill or pan fry the pork. I choose to grill because, when presented with options, I usually go for the healthier option.
  • While the pork is grilling, in a small sauce pan, sautee the garlic in the olive oil.
  • Before the garlic gets too brown, add the vinegar, lime and oregano.
  • Cook covered on low-to-medium heat stirring occasionally until the sauce is halved (about five-to-seven minutes).
  • Serve sauce on top of cooked pork possibly with a side of white rice or mashed potatoes. Either side will mix well with the sauce.
Well, what do you think?
