Directions

1 Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork in hot oil 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until brown on both sides. Remove pork from skillet; cover to keep warm. Drain drippings from skillet.
2 Mix apple juice, mustard, cornstarch, brown sugar, salt and pepper in small bowl. Add to skillet with sweet potatoes; reduce heat. Cover and cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are crisp-tender.
3 While sweet potatoes are cooking, heat water to boiling in medium saucepan; stir in rice. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes.
4 Stir bell pepper, apple and pork into sweet potato mixture. Cover and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender and pork is no longer pink in center. Serve over rice; garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

“Knowing that weight is also a heart concern, I look at main dishes and keep them under 400 to 500 calories, which is a good thing for my whole family. I am trying to include the kids in our choices, so they learn about healthy eating, too.” Nancy D.

You may have heard of the DASH Diet. Key findings from it showed that when people ate more fruits and vegetables, more low-fat dairy products and less saturated fat than a typical American diet, their blood pressures dropped significantly. More good news: If salt was also reduced, their blood pressure dropped even more.
