I found a interesting Low-Carb cookbook and thought I would share some of them more interesting recipes from it. Then you all can try them, I will too, and let others know how they are. I will be posting one maybe every other day or so. So check in here to see what new cooking idea you might have for the day!!

Here is the first:

MOJO PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK MAGIC CITRUS SALSA

6 boneless pork chops, 3/4 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
2 small seedless oranges, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons diced, seeded red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro


1. Place pork in large resealable plastic storage bag. Add oil, juices, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Seal bag and shake to evenly distribute marinade; refrigerate up to 24 hrs.

2. to make salsa, combine oranges, cucmber, red bell pepper, onion and cilantro in small bowl; toss lightly. Cover and refrigerate 1 hr. or overnight. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt just before serving.

3. To complete recipe, remove pork from marinade; discard marinade. Grill or broil pork 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until pork is no longer pink in center. Serve with salsa.
