Pork is a good source of protein. Pork loins and pork cutlets are low in fat, too, with less than 1 gram of fat per ounce of pork. This is similar to chicken in regards to the grams of fat making certain cuts of pork a very lean meat. Since pork is healthy and tasty, I wanted to make a list of quick and simple meals to make. I reached out to some of my favorite bloggers and dietitians to find out their favorite and fast pork recipes. Here’s what they had to share. We have 8 quick & easy pork recipes in 30 minutes or less. Get ready for juicy flavorful dishes in no sweat.
