Sweet And Tangy Lychee Sauce For Chicken Or Pork
Lychee, a tropical fruit that’s native to China and has been grown throughout southern Asia for centuries, is a relative newcomer in many parts of the world. Lychee are now grown in non-Asian tropical regions including Florida and Hawaii and it’s now often seen with the other fresh fruits in season (May through July in the US). Even out of season lychee are available almost everywhere in cans. Though the sweet, succulent lychee fruit is generally thought of in terms of dessert, its delicately tangy undertone also makes it a perfect accompaniment and flavor enhancer for mild meats. Lychee fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C - a single one-cup serving provides more than the recommended RDI of vitamin C for an adult. It’s also rich in potassium and fiber and contains more beta carotene than carrots. Pork Or Chicken With Tangy-Sweet Lychee Sauce - Four boneless pork chops or two boneless chicken breasts, halved - 1 tbsp. vegetable oil - one can of pitted lychee fruit, drained (or two cups of fresh lychee, chopped) - ¼ cup balsamic vinegar - ¼ cup of chicken or vegetable broth - salt, pepper, and ground cinnamon to taste Start by pounding the pork or chicken portions to a uniform thickness of about ½ inch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside while you heat a large frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is heated, add the oil and bring to temperature, then add the pork or chicken portions. Cook the meat for 4 - 6 minutes on each side, making sure the portions brown evenly. When the meat is nicely browned, remove it from the frying pan and set aside. Add the broth and vinegar to the pan juices, stirring to deglaze and loosen any bits sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add the lychee and a shake or two of cinnamon and continue stirring as the glaze cooks and thickens. Add more cinnamon to taste. When the mixture in the pan reaches a smooth, gravy-like consistency add the pork or chicken pieces, turning to coat well. Continue cooking over medium heat until the pork or chicken is cooked through. Spoon remaining glaze over meat portions to serve.
