Yellow Curry Pork with Quinoa

Tonight I made a dinner that the family liked so much, I decided to post it. I know Dani and Jason will be super excited to have yet another recipe to try:-) Other than that, I'm sure the rest of you - all three of you - will run to your kitchens and get started straight away. Ready, set, cook!

Ingredients:

Pork
1¼ lbs pork sirloin chops, cubed
1 Tbsp butter
¼ c fresh cilantro
6 green onions, sliced
1 Tbsp “Thai and True” Yellow Curry Paste
4 oz coconut milk
Salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

Quinoa
1 c quinoa, rinsed
2 c water
1 tsp butter
1 tsp “Better Than Bouillon”

Directions:

Pork
Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat; add salt, pepper and garlic powder to pan in browned butter, then immediately add pork and stir to coat; place lid over pork, stirring occasionally, until cooked through; turn off burner and add onion, coconut milk and cilantro.

Quinoa
In small saucepan, add all ingredients, bring to boil, cover and reduce heat to low until cooked, about 20 minutes.

Add quinoa to pork, stir and serve. Accompany with fresh guacamole, blue corn tortilla chips, and salad. Serves 4.
