Citrus Pork Skillet
Description
This Citrus Pork Skillet is a vibrant, weeknight-friendly dish that balances the earthy warmth of cumin with the bright acidity of orange juice and cider vinegar. Tender strips of boneless pork loin are quickly seared for a golden crust, then simmered in a fragrant, slightly sweet sauce infused with garlic and carrots. The result is a juicy, flavorful main that feels both comforting and fresh. It cooks in under thirty minutes, making it perfect for busy evenings when you want something substantial but not heavy. Serve it over rice, noodles, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delicious citrus glaze.Ingredients
