Cypriot Pork in Tomato Sauce - 4 points

This recipe is adapted from the book Cyprian Cooking by Despina Tskiri which a friend purchased for me while she was living on the island. I have had great success with this book, especially with this recipe. The pork is succulent and rich


Cypriot Pork in Tomato Sauce
3 lean pork chops, sliced into 1/2" strips
2 tsp olive oil
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup white wine
1 tbsp lemon pepper
1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add pork; fry until brown.
2. Pour tomatoes, wine, and lemon pepper over pork. Simmer until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
3. Yields 3, 4 point servings

I recently finished a book which I would recommend to anyone with a child in his/her life: Reading Magic, by Mem Fox. It is an excellent little volume extolling the virtues of reading aloud.

  2. I love Greek food, but I never seem to find a good Greek cookbook which I feel that is useful. I'll take a look on your suggested cookbook.

  9. 4 points? Really? On my list. Meaty (sort of), hearty (definitely) and leaves me some points for a glass of wine. (And I love to read aloud.)
