Provided by june
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Sprinkle pork chops with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add pork; cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145 degrees. Remove and keep warm. In the same skillet, whisk the vinegar, honey, green onions, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.

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.
Tips:
- For perfectly cooked pork chops, use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- Thicken the balsamic glaze by simmering it for a few minutes until it reduces and thickens. You can also add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the glaze to thicken it quickly.
- To make sure the pork chops are evenly coated in the glaze, baste them frequently with a pastry brush or spoon while they are cooking.
- Serve the pork chops immediately with the balsamic glaze drizzled on top. You can also garnish them with fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with honey balsamic glaze are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for any occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze perfectly complements the savory pork chops, and the dish can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad, this dish is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
