Easy Sweet and Sour Pork Chops
Easy Sweet and Sour Pork Chops
Barely adapted from Giada De Laurentis’ recipe
Ingredients
Serves 4
4 pork chops bone-in (about 8 oz / 225 gr each)
1 teaspoon fine grain salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
Glaze
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a rack in the middle.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet (or other oven-proof skillet) over medium-high heat.
When sizzling, add pork chops and sear on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Place in the oven and roast for about 6 minutes.
In the meantime combine all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook until reduced, about 5 minutes.
Remove pork chops from the oven, pour glaze over them, return in the oven and bake for further 4 minutes until caramelized.
Serve immediately!
