Cinnemon, Nutmeg and Garlic Pork Chops with Celery and Apple Leek Compote

Make the compote first because it takes the longest. Its also easy to time if you make it step by step. I think the compote was also by far the best part of this dish.

What you need;

1 stick of cinnamon

1 cup white wine

1 cup water

2 peeled/ cored and quartered apples

1 leek

Put the wine into a small pot with the cinnamon stick. Simmer with top on while you deal with the apple process of coring, quartering, peeling...

Once the apples are prepared place them into the simmering wine and recover.

Grab your leek and slice into rings. I usually cut off the bottom and about one inch off the top and use the rest for any recipe.

Place the rings on top of the apples. Add the cup of water and simmer for a few minutes with the lid on. Every once in a while stir the pot, but not much. The leeks and apples should mush up together from this so dont worry.

This makes 2 servings of Apple Leek Compote (1 cup per serving for fruit and vegie)

Pork Chop.

2 Lean pork chops

Ground Cinnamon

Ground Garlic

Ground Nutmeg

2-4 ribs celery

Olive Oil

While the compote is cooking place your lean pork chops on to a plate. Sprinkel with cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic. Spray first side with a few squirts of olive oil and smash all spices and oil in with your finger tips. Flip the meat to repeat on other side.

Let it sit for a while and cut up some celery. Place celery into pot with a bit of water and steam for about 5 minutes. While the celery is steaming place the pork chops into a hot pan and brown on either side. Once browned put the celery and its steam water into the pan. I love cooked celery so I usually over do it with 4 ribs, but 2 would probably be fine. Cover and simmer until the pork is white throughout.

Thats it. Yum Yum!

Oh and For breakfast I was a little naughty but still fufilled all my dietary requirements.

1 Cup steamed spinach with egg whites then scrambled into it. Once finished I placed a small amount of Brei on top, Nuked it for 30 seconds and had a glass of blueberry and raspberry juice.

The iron on my teeth following this meal was almost unbearable, but it was SUPER yummy while I was eating it. =)
