Ingredients

2 8-ounce sweet potatoes, pierced in several areas with fork
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Paprika to taste
4 4-ounce boneless pork cutlets, trimmed of fat
Topping Ingredients:
2 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
¼ teaspoon vanilla, butter, and nut flavoring
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 small oranges, quartered

Instructions

Cook potatoes in microwave on HIGH setting for 10 to 11 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Meanwhile, place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sprinkle cumin and paprika evenly over pork chops and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired. Cook pork chops 4 minutes on each side or until barely pink in center.
In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients until well-blended.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, fluff with a fork, and spoon equal amounts of topping mixture on each half. Serve with quartered oranges alongside.
