This is a really tasty and surprising fast dinner particularly for a weeknight. I have made them and forgotten about them only to rediscover them all over again.

Balsamic Pork Chops with Fresh Salad |
INGREDIENTS FOR CHOPS:
4 loin chops about 1/2 inch thick
Flour for dredging (I use whole wheat)
1/2 Cup aged balsamic vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp oil (I use grape)
2 gloves crushed garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Wash and dry pork chops.
Crush 2 garlic cloves, set aside.
|
Wrap in saran wrap and pound it like you mean it. My kids always love this step! |
|
Dredge in Flour. |
|
Add salt and pepper. Brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Less or more depending on thickness but don't overcook. Remove to a dish. Pour off excess oil from the pan. Leave bits from pork if any. |
|
Take balsamic vinger, crushed garlic and add a bit of brown sugar. Reduce flame and let bubbling, remove crumbly bits. When vingar is totally bubbling, take off and pour over chops. It should look like this. |
|
You really can serve this with anything. I made a simple salad of cubed tomato, seedless cucumbers, avocado, yellow pepper, shallots and fresh mozzarella. I dressed it in balsamic (2 tbsp) and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. |

Dinner! Yummy, healthy and in keeping up with resolution to eat healthy this year!
