2 (4-ounce) boneless, center-cut loin pork chops

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Dash of salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided

1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 tablespoons chopped dried apricots

1 teaspoon honey

Sprinkle pork with pepper and salt. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 2 1/2 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan. Combine rind, juice, and ginger in a shallow dish; add pork, turning to coat.

Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in pan over medium heat. Add onion and curry paste; cook 2 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Add pork mixture, broth, apricots, honey, and garlic; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until pork is done. Remove pork from pan. Increase heat to medium-high.
