Recipe Review: Apricot Glazed Pork Medallions

Jon and I love to eat Asian food!! If Chinese food was lower in pointsplus values, I would eat it everyday!! However, because Chinese food is so high in pointsplus values we do not eat it very often.

Today, I wanted to share an Asian recipe with you that Jon and I eat on a regular basis. It's 8 pointsplus per serving, but like I said most Asian foods are higher in pointsplus values. You could probably lower the pointsplus values by using chicken instead of pork, but we enjoy pork so that's what I use.

The ingredients

First, cut pork crosswise into 1/2 inch thick rounds.

Next, add sesame oil to your pan and begin to heat it up your pan.

Season both sides of pork with salt and black pepper. Add pork to your pan and sear 2 minutes per side.

Next, add apricot preserves, soy sauce and ginger and bring to a simmer.

Simmer 5 minutes, until pork is cooked through and sauce reduces.

The final product!! I served mine over rice. I normally serve it with steamed veggies too, but I didn't have any this time.
