Adapted From: Weight Watcher Annual Recipes for 2008
Ingredients:
½ cup apricot preserves
4 tablespoons curry powder
4 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon black pepper
6 pork chops
2 bulbs of fresh fennel – sliced
Balsamic vinegar – for drizzling
Combine the first five ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Spread this mixture over the pork chops, cover and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Place the pork chops in and turn only once. This takes a few minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the pork chop.
When the pork chops are done drizzle some balsamic vinegar in the pan to de-caramelize the pan and place the fennel for few minutes. Do not over cook the fennel, it should be crunchy. Top the fennel over the pork chops.
This is a great way to serve a pork chop!
Enjoy with Love,
Catherine

I am having a little cooking challenge on the blog. I think you'd be really good at it.
Have a blessed weekend.

This looks so delicious. Wonderful flavor combo. I will have to give it a try. My family loves pork but I do not have many recipes for it. Thanks!

I would love to have a plate of these chops Catherine. Too bad (for me) the guys don't like fennel otherwise I'd try this one tonight.
