Shelli’s Quarantine Cooking Pork Chops With Balsamic Sweet Onions
Ingredients:
4 pork chops (We like rib chops)
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large thinly sliced Vidalia onion
1 teaspoon fresh cut-up thyme or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup chicken broth (add less kosher salt if your broth isn’t salt-free)
½ cup water
3 tablespoons high-quality balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if you like
Directions:
Preheat oven to 200.
Open windows or door!! It’s gonna get smokey!!!
Lightly sprinkle both sides of the chops chops with salt & pepper.
Heat oil in cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
Sear the chops on both sides until they are a nice dark golden brown. (About two minutes per side)
Turn down the heat to medium and cook until meat thermometer reads 140.
Transfer pork to oven on a tray or aluminum foil to keep warm.
Add onions and thyme to hot pan and cook for a minute while stirring.
Add broth & water, stir the drippings from the bottom of the pan, and cook covered for 5 minutes, until the onions are done and the water is evaporated.
Stir in balsamic vinegar & scrape all the bits again.
Bring to a boil and cook until thickened. (Very quick)
Remove pork chops from oven and top with onion/balsamic mixture.
Garnish with the parsley and serve.
Yum!!!!!!!
