BALSAMIC PORK CHOPS
Super simple, yet serious flavour!! The Balsamic sauce is tangy and sweet, and this will go fantastically with any protein - chicken, beef, pork and even lamb! The flavour of this syrup is quite intense so you do not need much for each serving - just spoon a couple of tablespoons over each pork. While the total cook time may seem long, it is mostly hands off time because the balsamic syrup doesn't need to be watched over as it reduces.

Steps:
- Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the first side for 4 minutes until it has a lovely dark gold crust, then turn and cook the other side for 3 minutes. (Note 3)

- Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, still on medium high. Add garlic and onion, cook until translucent - around 3 minutes.

- Simmer for ~5 to 8 minutes or until it reduces by almost half and is a THIN syrup. Then add the pork back into the skillet, including all the juices on the plate. Simmer, turning pork to reheat, for 2 minutes or until the the sauce becomes syrupy (to your taste) and pork is reheated. (Note 4)
- Serve, garnished with crumbled goats cheese if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: For this recipe, it's best to use bone-in pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade for these pork chops is made with a combination of balsamic vinegar, citrus juice, olive oil, and herbs. This helps to infuse the pork chops with tons of flavor.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without drying out.
- Don't overcook the pork chops: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork chops.

These balsamic citrus pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the pork chops with tons of flavor, and the citrusy sauce is the perfect finishing touch. Serve these pork chops with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
