Balsamic Roasted Pork Chops
Ingredients:
4 bone pork loin chops (1″- 11/2″ each) {I used French cut but any bone in will work}
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, diced
1 tablespoons butter {use ghee for paleo and whole30}
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°
Evenly sprinkle each side of pork chops with salt, pepper and rosemary.
In a large heavy oven safe skillet, add butter and olive oil over medium high heat. {you don’t want oil popping but your chops should sizzle immediately when you add them}
Add chops to skillet and cook until browned 3-4 minutes, flip and cook till other side is browned. Remove and set aside on plate.
In the same skillet, add onion and toss in juices to coat and brown. Cooking for a minute, add vinegar and honey. Sauce will sizzle and bubble and should start to cook down. Reduce heat if you have too much splattering.
Return chops to the pan; and place pan in oven to cook for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of chops. You want the internal temperature on your pork chops to be 145°
Remove from oven, plate and spoon glaze and roasted red onion over top of chops.
