Tasty Tuesday

I've been so sidetracked with Rooms To Go and the delivery on Tuesday that I completely forgot about posting a recipe for Tasty Tuesday!!

So here it is, better late than never!

Balsamic Pork Scaloppini

1 lb thin sliced boneless pork chops
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup diced pimientos, drained
2 tbsp canola oil
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper


Directions:

Preheat oil in large saute pan on medium high heat. Place flour, salt, and pepper in ziploc bag, or bowl. Coat pork chops with flour mixture. Cook pork chops 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Add peppers, pimientos, and onions to pan, cook until soft and lightly browned. Add vinegar and broth, cook 2-3 minutes or until reduced to half.

Return pork to pan and cook until pork reaches 160 degrees.


Tomato Buttered Noodles

1 oz fresh basil, coarsely chopped
8 oz medium egg noodles
4 oz sun dried tomato finishing butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Cook pasta according to box directions. Drain, return to pan and reduce heat to low.

Stir in butter, salt and pepper; toss until butter melts. Stir in basil and finish with Parmesan.

Serve pork chops over noodles. You can also chop the pork into bite size pieces if you prefer.

Enjoy!

Sounds good ! Where do you find "finishing butter"?

It is in Publix, back in the Seafood department. Kind of weird, but it was there. Maybe it's usually used to finish seafood!?
