Slow Baked Pork Chops In An Orange & Soy Sauce

These slow baked pork chops work well when served with mashed potato - to sop up the delicious orange & Soy sauce which they bake in !

This is a quick and easy recipe to throw together and works well if you’re feeding a crowd (just double or treble the quantities below accordingly). You can just put it in the oven and (almost) forget all about it until it’s done ! This was one of the first meals I cooked when I returned home to Tanzania last month ….


Slow Baked Pork Chops in an Orange & Soy Sauce

4 Pork chops
Olive Oil
¾ cup Orange Juice
½ cup Brown Sugar
¼ cup Soy Sauce
2 tsp freshly grated Ginger

Brown/seal the chops in some olive oil in a pan. Mix the orange juice, sugar, soy sauce & ginger together. Place the chops in a single layer in an oven proof dish. Pour the sauce over them. Cover with foil. Bake at 190’C/375’F/Gas Mark 5 for 45 mins & then remove the foil, baste and turn the chops & bake for a further 5 mins.
