Delicious Cranberry Maple Pork Chops with Caraway Fettuccine Recipe

Denver: If you’re looking for a festive meal but are short on time, I’ve got a great recipe for you. It’s colorful and super easy to whip up. You start by cooking the pork chops in a skillet, then make a quick sauce in the same pan. It only takes about 6 to 7 minutes!

For the fettuccine and broccoli, they cook together and get a nice flavor from caraway seeds. These seeds have a nutty, delicate taste that really adds something special to the dish.

Here are some helpful hints: you can use any type of pork chop you like, and if you don’t have fettuccine, spaghetti works just fine. Frozen cranberries are a good substitute if fresh ones aren’t available.

To get started, prepare all your ingredients. First, boil some water for the fettuccine. Then, make the pork chop recipe, and while that’s cooking, boil the pasta and broccoli together.

For shopping, you’ll need about 3/4 pound of boneless center loin pork chop, balsamic vinegar, cranberries, maple syrup, fettuccine, broccoli florets, and caraway seeds. Don’t forget the staples like olive oil, salt, and black pepper!

Now, let’s get to the recipe. For the pork chops, remove any visible fat and heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork for about 5 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt and pepper. Once it’s cooked, take it out and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add balsamic vinegar and scrape up any brown bits. Toss in the cranberries and maple syrup, stirring until the cranberries burst and create a thick sauce. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pork with the sauce on top.

For the fettuccine and broccoli, boil water and cook the fettuccine for 5 minutes. Then, add the broccoli and cook for another 4 minutes. Save some pasta water, drain everything, and mix it with olive oil, caraway seeds, and seasoning.

And there you have it! A delicious meal that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
