GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH PEPPERS AND BALSAMIC GLAZE
Steps:
- For the hot and sweet pepper relish: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Toss peppers with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven, turning once, until charred on both sides, about 25 minutes total. Remove to a bowl, cover top with plastic and let steam for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and seeds and thinly slice.
- Whisk together the balsamic, garlic, honey and parsley in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper. Add the red and yellow peppers and cherry peppers and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Relish can be made up to 8 hours in advance and stored, covered in refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- For the balsamic reduction: Put the vinegar in a nonreactive (such as stainless steel) pan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup. Then stir in the honey, transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature; it will thicken as it cools.
- For the pork chops: Whisk together the vinegar, honey, 1/4 cup oil, parsley and thyme and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to take the chill off.
- Heat your grill to high or a cast iron grill pan over high heat. Brush the pork chops on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on one side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn over and grill until the other side until golden brown. Brush with some of the glaze, turn, brush with more glaze and turn again until a crust forms and pork is cooked through, (it should register 145 degrees F on instant read thermometer), about 10 to 12 minutes total.
- To serve: Transfer the chops to a plate, top with some of the relish and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Garnish with parsley leaves.

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:

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

BALSAMIC GLAZED ROASTED PEPPERS WITH PASTA AND PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- Firstly, heat a deep pan and add olive oil. Once oil is up to temperature, add chopped bell pepper, garlic, and a dash of salt. Begin boiling the pasta. Roast peppers until they begin to brown. Add a dash or two of sugar, balsamic vinegar, oregano, basil, and rum. Once the mix has formed a glaze on the peppers, trim the fat from the pork chops and place them in this pan. Add black pepper and a dash more balsamic vinegar. Cook the chops until done through and add pasta sauce and salsa. Heat until boiling, simmer, and add strained pasta. Mix and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm bell peppers: Look for peppers that are brightly colored and free of blemishes. Make sure they are firm to the touch, as soft peppers will not roast as well.
- Slice the peppers evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Use a good quality balsamic glaze: A good balsamic glaze will add a rich, sweet, and tangy flavor to the peppers. Look for a glaze that is made with real balsamic vinegar and has a thick, syrupy consistency.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When roasting the peppers, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will prevent the peppers from roasting evenly.
- Roast the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be tender when pierced with a fork. Depending on the size of the peppers, this may take 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the peppers immediately: Balsamic glazed roasted peppers are best served immediately, while they are still warm and tender. They can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
Conclusion:
Balsamic glazed roasted peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great way to add a pop of color and flavor to your meals. The combination of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors makes them a crowd-pleaser. Whether you serve them as a side dish, appetizer, or main course, balsamic glazed roasted peppers are sure to be a hit.
