Doug’s Dynamic Drivel

So there I was cruising the aisles at the local supermarket when I noticed a new, OK new to me, product in the soup section. Campbell’s has some new stocks available and one of them is Thai Broth. It has lots of lemongrass in it. I knew right then and there I would have to try it out tonight.

I bought some nice thick center cut pork loin chops along with some oranges, apples and sweet potatoes to complete the meal. When I got home I marinated the chops in some fresh ground ginger, crushed garlic, fresh squeezed orange juice and teriyaki soy sauce. Then I microwaved the sweet potato in its skin, let it cool, skinned it and then sliced it up for pan frying. I squeezed the juice of a couple of oranges and added an equal amount of the Thai Broth. WOW is it ever aromatic.

When it came dinner time I warmed the juice/broth mixture, added the marinade from the chops, corrected the seasoning a bit and thickened it with cornstarch. Used my heavy cast itron stove top grill to grill the chops, steamed some broccoli florets and julienned carrots, and panfried the sweet potato in butter and olive oil along with a chopped Gala apple.

It was such a satisfying dinner. If you find this Thai Broth at your grocery store do not pass it by. I’m going to try it next as part of the liquid used to cook some rice then sauté some chicken in some Thai red curry paste to go with it. Yum Yum Yum.
