Instructions
-
Cook the Pork Chop:
- Season the pork chop on both sides with your favorite spices or a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with low-calorie cooking spray.
- Add the pork chop to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). Remove from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes.
-
Prepare the Mashed Cauliflower:
- While the pork is cooking, steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
-
Cook the Green Beans:
- Drain the canned green beans and add them to a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Season with a pinch of salt or your preferred spices.
-
Make the Low-Fat Gravy:
- In a small saucepan, whisk 2 tablespoons of gravy powder into 1 cup of water until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
-
Plate and Serve:
- On a plate, arrange the pork chop alongside the mashed cauliflower and green beans.
- Generously spoon the low-fat gravy over the pork chop and a bit over the cauliflower, if desired.
