Easy and healthy medely of veggies, pork and seasoning!
One of my core beliefs as a person who loves to cook (and eat) is that life requires balance. Multi-coursed meals or special indulgences don’t have to mess you up if you default toward a healthier lifestyle in between. I am also a person that believes in reinventing leftovers into something new and tasty, and in this case, fairly healthy. I call this “Pull a Rabbit out of a Hat” cooking.
With leftover 1/2 pound pork chops in fridge (from the Pork Chops Smothered in Sweet Onion Gravy recipe) and a bag of Birds Eyes Protein blend in the freezer, I whipped up this quick and tasty weekday meal. While a recipe this simple hardly seems necessary, think of it more as inspiration for a simple meal prep you might not have tried before .
Ingredients
- Leftover shredded pork chops approx. 4 ounces
- Birds Eye Italian Style Protein blend a mix of whole grains, lentils, spinach, broccoli, white beans and sauce
- Chopped fresh parsley and snipped chives optional
- Lemon Wedges optional
- Cherry tomato wedges optional
Instructions
- Warm pork chop in microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until hot. Shred desired amount of pork
- Cook Birds Eye Italian Style Protein Blend using instruction on package
- Combine pork and Protein Blend, squeeze with lemon and top with tomato wedges and herbs.
Notes
This looks super yummy!
The idea came from your freezer where I first spotted this Bird’s Eyes protein blend. So I consider that the inspiration point!
