Ingredients:

2 (4 ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Dash of salt
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
½ teaspoon grated lime rind
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1½ teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
½ cup chopped onion
½ teaspoon red curry paste
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped dried apricots
1 teaspoon honey
1 garlic clove, minced
1½ cups cooked basmati rice

1. Sprinkle pork with pepper and salt. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 2½ minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from heat. Combine rind, juice, and ginger in a shallow dish; add pork, turning to coat.

2. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan, and place over medium heat. Add ½ cup onion and curry paste; cook 2 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently.
