BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK | SLIMMING & WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY

Steps:

• Put the balsamic vinegar and granulated sweetener in a pan and bring to the boil.
• Allow to simmer until the balsamic has reduced by half and it coats the back of a spoon.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool. As the glaze cools it will start to thicken up even more, so if it starts to thicken too much just add a small amount of water and stir well. It needs to be the right consistency to coat things. You can store this in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
• First coat the pork medallions in the balsamic glaze (see recipe below for recipe) then sprinkle with half of the chopped chillies and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
• Peel the onion, leaving the root end intact, then cut it into 6 - 8 wedges. Peel the shallots and slice them in half lengthways. Peel the garlic cloves and slice any larger ones in half lengthways.
• Place all the veg (including the rest of the chilli and rosemary) in a roasting tray, spray with some Low calorie cooking spray and season.
• Roast for 20 minutes. While the veg is cooking heat up a frying pan, then sear the pork medallions on both sides (about 2 minutes each side).
• Pour in any remaining glaze, then transfer the pork into the tray with the roasting vegetables, return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the pork is cooked.
