I needed a low sodium pork recipe. This delivered! Delicious, fast, easy, and healthy. Basically everything I want in a weeknight dinner. Paired it with green beans, zucchini, and brown rice. The extra juice from this pork dish brought it all together. (I added a little tamari to mine because I thought it needed more salt and I’m not the person in the house who needs low sodium meals)

we've been using this recipe for years; my copy says that it dates bak to 1994. Tasty and easy.
