Andronico's near my place have had a great deal on pork loin chops for the past few days, you can pick up a couple of pork chops for around $3. Pork chops are super easy to cook and are very tasty. When I cook red meat, I make a special effort to mix in some powerful and healthy vegetables - for example cooking with shallots or having sauteed broccoli and shitake mushrooms on the side. Onions are extremely good for cancer prevention, and shallots (which are essentially a kind of onion) are the most potently beneficial sort. Here's what I did: Roasted pork loin chops with shallots

  • 2 pork loin chops
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lots of shallots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat baking dish with oil. Place meat in baking dish. Rub in salt and pepper to taste. Cover chops with shallot slices. Pour water in, making sure chops are not covered. Cook for 45-50 minutes, ensuring chops are cooked through and slightly brown. Serve with healthy veggies. Enjoy!
