Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 center-cut pork chops, about 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 cups chopped pitted prunes
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from the chops. Mince about one tablespoon of the fat and heat it in a large skillet. Quickly brown the chops on both sides on a high heat in the fat. Remove chops.
  • Lower heat and add onion. Saute until tender and lightly browned. Add garlic and ginger and continue to cook, stirring for another minute or two. Add the prunes, brandy and honey. Stir.
  • Return the chops to the skillet along with any juices they may have released upon standing. Season with salt and pepper and baste with the sauce. Cover skillet and simmer very gently until the chops are just cooked through, about 20 minutes. Arrange chops on a platter. Taste sauce and adjust seasonings. Spoon sauce over chops and serve.

This recipe was a disappointment. The pork chops were tough and the sauce was bland.

I substituted dried apricots for the prunes and it was still delicious.

The pork chops were cooked perfectly, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

Pretty good! I omitted the prunes because I don't like them, and the pork chops still turned out great.
