Low Fat Pork With Ratatouille Sauce Recipes

LOW FAT PORK WITH RATATOUILLE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce place all of the vegetables in a sauce pan and add the chopped tomatoes and the tomato puree.
• Add the dried herbs and sugar and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
• For the chops, preheat your grill to a medium temperature.
• Trim all excess fat from the chops.
• Rub in dried herbs on both sides and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• Grill the chops for 5 minutes on one side, turn over and grill for another 5-8 minutes.
• (Times might need adjusting slightly depending on the size of your chops).

GRILLED PORK AND RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 1 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and half of the ginger in a large bowl; stir until dissolved. Add the pork chops; cover with cold water. Let sit 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining ginger and the red pepper flakes and cook until the ginger sizzles, 2 minutes. Add the vinegar and the remaining 3 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons to a small bowl for basting; set aside the rest for serving.
• Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Toss the eggplant, zucchini, scallions and tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl; season with salt. Grill the vegetables until tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side; transfer the scallions to a cutting board and transfer the rest of the vegetables to a large bowl. Grill the pork chops until marked and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side, basting with the reserved glaze during the last few minutes.
• Chop the scallions; add to the vegetables along with the basil. Top the pork chops with the remaining glaze. Serve with the vegetables.
• Shishitos, small Japanese peppers, are usually mild, but beware: One in every dozen or so is super spicy!

RATATOUILLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven for 375˚F (190˚C).
• Slice the eggplant, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini into approximately ¹⁄₁₆-inch (1-mm) rounds, then set aside.
• Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch (30-cm) oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and bell peppers until soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the crushed tomatoes. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Remove from heat, then add the basil. Stir once more, then smooth the surface of the sauce with a spatula.
• Arrange the sliced veggies in alternating patterns, (for example, eggplant, tomato, squash, zucchini) on top of the sauce from the outer edge to the middle of the pan. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the herb seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the basil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Spoon the herb seasoning over the vegetables.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover, then bake for another 20 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
• Serve while hot as a main dish or side. The ratatouille is also excellent the next day--cover with foil and reheat in a 350˚F (180˚C) oven for 15 minutes, or simply microwave to desired temperature.
• Enjoy!

Add the zucchini and tomatoes, increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking the mixture, stirring it from time to time, until the zucchini has wilted. Stir in the diced eggplant.

• Serve the ratatouille hot or at room temperature.
