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. Whi

Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (, 2.5cm / 1" thick, about 200-250g/7-8oz each (excluding any bone) (Note 1))
- 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 g arlic clove (, minced)
- 1 onion (, finely sliced (~1 cup of onion, brown, yellow or white))
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup / 60g brown sugar ((Note 2))
- Salt and pepper
- Crumbled goats cheese or feta
- Fresh parsley or thyme
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)
-
Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil.
-
Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, still on medium high. Add garlic and onion, cook until translucent - around 3 minutes.
-
Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is melted. When it comes to a simmer, adjust the heat so it is bubbling gently, not rapidly.
-
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.
