Coriander Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tsp. ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 4 pork rib or loin chops, cut 3/4-inch thick
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

Makes 4 Servings

1. For marinade, in a small bowl combine orange juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, coriander, pepper, and garlic; set aside.
2. Trim fat from chops. Place chops in self-sealing plastic bag set in a bowl. Pour marinade over chops. Seal bag; turn to coat chops. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, turning bag occasionally.
3. Preheat broiler. Drain chops, discarding marinade. Place chops on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3-4 inches from heat for 9-12 minutes or until pork is done (160 F) and juices run clear, turning once. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

Note: This recipe appears in the Sonoma Diet Cookbook. This is a different take on broiled or grilled pork chops. The coriander mixed the soy sauce, lemon and orange juices give the pork chops a nice kick of spice to them. You don't need salt in this dish because the soy sauce is slightly salty itself.
