Pork: The Other White Meat

Finally back to cooking! Friday night involved me caving in on a Subway promise that's been lingering for about two weeks. Last night was grocery shopping, and the subsequent frozen pizza when you get home. But the weekend involved this:



Paprika Pork

Saute 3 cups of chopped bell peppers of various colors in a pan coated with cooking spray for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Coat pan again with cooking spray and add in approximately 1 pound of pork loin chopped in 1 inch pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and brown pork on all sides - about 4 minutes. Stir in 4 teaspoons of paprika and cook 1 minute longer. Add 1 1/2 cups of a red wine pasta sauce, 1 cup of water, and the peppersinto the pan. Bring to a boil - reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over egg noodles.

Very tasty and just a little spicey with the paprika. Very easy as well. I think frozen bell peppers pre-chopped would work just as well too and save some time (and possibly money), and chicken would also be good in this dish.

Thanks to http://www.cookinglight.com/ for the recipe idea.
