Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick cut pork chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
  • vegetable oil, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala, OR make from a shortcut
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup cranberry-raspberry juice blend, or just chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock, powder or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • salt and pepper, as desired

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the chops, trim excess fat off if desired, pat dry with paper towels. Rub each chop on both sides with oil, about 1 teaspoon for each chop.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the garam masala and garlic powder.
  • Rub the garam masala mix all over the chops, both sides and edges.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non stick pan on medium heat. When hot, add the chops, work in batches if needed. Brown each side for about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Same pan, stir in the juice and stock, if no juice, stock will work fine, season with salt and pepper to taste, add the chops, then bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook the chops for 15 minutes, turn them half way through. Cut one chop open to check for doneness, if cooked through, remove the chops to a serving platter using a slotted spoon. Cover with foil and set aside.
  • In a measuring cup, mix together the corn starch and 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry, stir into the pan and heat the pan to boiling and whisk and cook for 2 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat, taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Pour over the chops.
  • Serve.
