Thick Cut Pork Chop with Grape Chutney


Thick Cut Pork Chop with Grape Chutney

Found a way to use the grape chutney I made the other day. Heat it up and drizzle it over a thick cut pork chop right before serving. A simple condiment elevates the pork chop to a new level. We have lots of snow on the ground but we're eating like kings and queens. The bird feeders are full and got some seed and nut mix for them also. Nine degrees this morning.

Greek Yogurt Chocolate Pudding


Greek Yogurt Chocolate Pudding

1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup Greek yogurt

In a medium sauce pan whisk cacao powder, sugar, corn starch, and salt. Add milk and whisk till well blended. Cook mixture, stirring constantly, till mixture thickens. Stir in vanilla and butter till blended. Add Greek yogurt and mix till just blended. Fill ramekins and refrigerate at least four hours or overnight. Think I'd double the recipe next time. Tangy and delicious and not too sweet.
