A Healthy recipe

This recipe has become quite a favourite in our house.  It comes from a Weight Watchers recipe book, but don't let that put you off. This is the recipe as it comes in the book.

Chermoula Pork

Serves 6

6 x 110g lean pork steaks
1 tbsp medium curry powder
low fat cooking spray 
300ml hot chicken stocak
150g low fat soft cheese
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
2 garlic cloves, crushed
30g jalapeno peppers from a jar
2 tbsp fresh coriander
2 limes cut into wedges to serve

Coat the pork with the curry powder.  Heat a wide, deep, non-stick frying pan.
Spray the pork steaks with the low fat spray and cook in the pan for 10 minutes until brown all over.  Remove, cover with foil and set aside.

Add a splash of stock to the pan to deglaze then stir in the soft cheese, cumin, paprika, garlic and jalapenos.

Gradually stir in the remaining stock.  Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins.  Return the pork to the pan and simmer for 1 minute. Sprinkle over the coriander and serve with the lime wedges.

Notes:

I usually make the same amount of sauce for 3 or 4 people.....I like sauce.

For low fat soft cheese use Philadelphia light or extra light.

I used creole spice last night instead of coriander and omitted the spices from the sauce.

For the weight watchers among you, this recipe as written above will cost you 3 points (not propoints).  Its aso a core recipe. (UK weight watchers)
