For a slightly different flavor, use pineapple chunks or apricots in place of the pears or swap winter squash for the sweet potatoes.

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp curry powder
3/4 tsp table salt
1 pound lean boneless pork chop, four 4 oz pieces
15 oz canned sweet yams in syrup, drained
15 oz unsweetened canned pears, drained, reserve 1/2 cup juice
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions


1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil.
2. In a large sealable plastic bag, mix flour, curry powder and 1/4 tsp of salt. Add pork and shake to coat.
3. Transfer pork to skillet. Sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side.
4. Meanwhile, cut yams into bite-size chunks. Add to pork with pears, reserved pear juice, thyme, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat and simmer until pork is cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
