Today I am featuring lean chops and catfish stew.

Pork Chops:
Ingredients
4 large, lean center-cut chops, all fat trimmed
1 small head cabbage
1 medium onion, sliced
10-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked brown rice

Directions

Brown chops in non-stick skillet with onion and cabbage. Stir in tomatoes, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add seasonings. Add a little water or broth, if necessary, to prevent sticking. Serve over brown rice. 4 servings.

Catfish Stew:
Ingredients
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed
4 carrots, sliced thick
4 stalks celery, sliced thick
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds farm-raised catfish
Juice of one lemon

Directions

Place all ingredients except catfish and lemon in 4-quart pot. Bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes (or until vegetables are tender). Add catfish and simmer 10 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice to taste and adjust seasonings. 4-5 servings.
