Pork With Zucchini and Tomatoes

Eating low fat doesn't mean you have to eat skinless chicken every night. Pork loin is about as lean as chicken and makes a great white-meat alternative. Here, thin boneless pork cutlets from Trader Joe's form the basis of this simple skillet supper of pork, zucchini and tomatoes. Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you want to add a bit of spiciness.

Cook Time: 14 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sliced zucchini
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 4 4-5 ounce lean pork loin cutlets (1/2 inch thick or less)
  • 1 14.5 ounce no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

Preparation:

Heat oil on medium heat in large skillet. Sauté onions until softened. Add zucchini and dried herbs, and cook for two minutes. Add pork cutlets and cook for 2-3 minutes each side. Add canned tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Serve over hot whole-grain rice.
