When I buy pork roast that's too much for two people, I have this second-day dish in mind. It's a family favorite that doesn't taste like leftovers.

SERVINGS: 2

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD:

TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 25 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red or chopped green pepper
  • 1 celery rib, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup cubed cooked pork (1/2-inch cubes)
  • 3/4 cup frozen sliced carrots, thawed
  • 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1/2 cup pork gravy
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Hot cooked rice

Directions:

In a skillet, saute the onion, red pepper and celery in oil until crisp-tender. Add the pork, carrots, mushrooms, gravy, broth, soy sauce and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until carrots are tender. Serve over rice. Yield: 2 servings.

    This is a great way to use leftover pork. I didn't have frozen carrots so I added canned carrots at the end.

    This sounds good, I think we'll try it, sans the mushrooms. We're not much of mushrooms people except for pizza.

    thanks, Cookie
