Skip the asparagus if it’s a protein day but this combination was fabulous as a Dukan Diet recipe for a protein vegetable day!  I loved the roasted asparagus with the gravy all mixed in.  It was delicious.  The bacon I use has half the fat of frying bacon yourself and you need very little to get the punch of flavor it gives recipes.  There are a few brands and I think one of them has a turkey version, as well.  Sorry I’ve been missing for a while, I’ve been on vacation and in desperate need to focus on healthy eating again!

PORK CHOPS WITH BEER AND BACON GRAVY

2 center cut, boneless pork chops
2 T Real Bacon Bits or 2 pieces of turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 small onion, chopped
1 t cornstarch
1/2 cup light beer
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock
2 T dried or 2 t fresh parsley, chopped

Season pork with pepper.  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook pork in a bit of cooking spray for about 5 minutes a side, or until carmelized and cooked through.  Remove and keep warm on a plate covered with foil.  Add the bacon and onions to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.  Sprinkle cornstarch over the onion and add the beer.  Simmer for 2 minutes, add the stock and whisk another few more minutes stirring in the parsley in the last minute.  Serve gravy over pork.

Spray a bunch of asparagus with a bit of cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.  Roast on a foil-covered sheet pan at 450 for about 5-7 minutes while pork is cooking.
