Garam Masala Pork Chops Recipe

Garam Masala Pork Chops Recipe

  • 4 center-cut loin pork chops
  • 4 teaspoons Safeway SELECT Verdi Olive Oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup cranberry-raspberry juice
  • 1/4 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Trim and discard fat from chops. Rinse chops, pat dry, and rub with 1 teaspoon oil.
  2. Mix garam masala and garlic powder. Rub spice mixture all over chops.
  3. Place a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat pan. Set chops in pan and brown well on each side, pressing meat flat with a spatula if needed to get even color, 2 to 3 minutes a side.
  4. Stir cranberry-raspberry juice blend and broth into pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer over low heat, turning once, until chops are no longer pink in center (cut to test), 15 to 18 minutes total. With a slotted spatula, transfer chops to a platter; keep warm.
  5. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water; stir into pan, then stir over high heat until boiling, about 2 minutes. Pour pan sauce over chops. Add salt and pepper to taste.
