Pork with ginger
Description
Pork baked in the oven is much healthier than pan-cooked meat. There are numerous marinades for pork, ranging from simple salt and pepper to berry and fruit-based ones. It is the marinade that gives the meat its rich and distinctive flavor. Pork with ginger is quite an exotic dish that may not appeal to everyone, but it's definitely worth trying. It pairs well with a vegetable side dish.
