Low Fat Pork With Ratatouille Sauce

-Sylvie-'s Note:

This is great served with a jacket potato, really filling but low in calories. It's also nice with any other grilled meat or fish.

wonderful flavor in this sauce! Such simple ingredients yield an outstanding meal. I served as directed with a baked potato. Excellent! I think this sauce would be good with pasta as well. I sauteed my pork chops instead of grilling and they turned out beautifully. Thanks!

Made this for dinner tonite and it was so easy and delicious. DS and DH were both home for dinner tonite. We had green beans and corn on the cob (from garden) as sides. Great easy meal, will make this again. Thank you.
