Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Set aside remaining marinade for basting. Brush grill rack with cooking oil before starting the grill. Drain and discard marinade. Place pork chop on the rack. Grill, covered, for 5 minutes. Brush with reserved marinade. Grill 15-20 minutes longer or until golden brown. It depends what kind of oven you have. Some oven you only turn the knob to broil other you need to set the temperature. But I usually broil with the temperature of 400 degree F. Or broil set on low because on high it tends to burn the meat fast. You can substitute this with chicken and meaty fish also.

1 lb lean pork cut into cubes 1 piece of liver*, cut into cubes 1 potato, cut into cubes 2 carrots, cut into cubes 1 onion cut into chunks 2 garlic cloves minced 1 bay leaf 1 can chick peas (garbanzo) drained and removed the outer layer of beans 1 8oz can tomato sauce 3/4 cup broth 1 Tbsp cooking oil Salt and pepper to taste I usually boil the meat before cutting them into pieces, to get some broth to use. You can always plain water or buy some from the store. Saute the pork in the oil for 2 minutes in a medium size pot. Add the broth, carrots, potatoes, and bay leaf. Let it cook until the potatoes are almost done. Add the onions, garlic, liver, chick peas and cook for 4 minutes or until the liver turned brown. Then add the tomato sauce, add salt and pepper to taste if you like. Continue simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve with white rice. *The liver is sold pre-sliced. I only used 1 slice out of the container. You can always omit the liver if you don't like it and replace it some k

My 7yo son is very picky eater. He only eats certain meat and only if they are processed. Instead of buying Honey Dijon flavor chicken nuggets from the store I found a way to make it myself. Mind you with all natural, well mostly natural ingredients. 1 chicken breast, skinless/boneless cut into cubes 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder Batter 1/2 cup butter milk 5 tbsp prepared Honey Dijon Mustard Put the chicken pieces on a plastic wrap about 1 inch apart. Cover them with another plastic on top. Flatten the chicken pieces by pounding with a meat tenderizer. Set aside. Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium size bowl (flour, salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder and paprika). Mix the Honey Dijon mustard and butter milk in another bowl. Add the chicken pieces into the flour mixture. Make sure the chicken is covered. Take the chicken pieces and put them into the batter (honey dijon mustard and butter milk mixture). See to it
