4 boneless, center-cut pork loin chops (about 4 oz. ea., trimmed)
1/2 C. fresh orange juice
1 slice rye bread
1 1/2 T. coarse-grain Dijon mustard
1 tsp. finely grated orange zest
Place pork chops in a zip-top plastic bag and add orange juice. Seal bag
and turn to coat the meat. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to
2 hours. While pork marinates, trim crust off the bread slice and tear
it into pieces. In a food processor, process bread to coarse crumbs; set
aside. Preheat broiler and position broiler pan 4-6 inches from heat
source. Drain pork chops and discard orange juice. Place chops on
broiler pan. Broil 6 minutes. Turn chops over and broil second side 4
minutes. In a small bowl, combine mustard and orange zest. Remove chops
from broiler, brush mustard mixture over chops and sprinkle evenly with
bread crumbs. Return to broiler and broil until bread crumbs are golden
brown and chops are barely pink in center, 203 minutes longer. Serve
immediately. Makes 4 servings.
