I often think pork chops are hard to cook - a lot of times they end up dry and tasteless. This is a recipe that redeemed them for me - and it's easy and looks beautiful!
From Cooking Light
Ingredients:
~1/2 cup fresh orange juice
~2 tbs orange marmalade (we used a blood orange marmalade - yum!!)
~1 tbs whole grain mustard
~4 bone-in pork loin chops (about 1 inch thick)
~1 tbs canola oil
~1/4 tsp salt
~1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
~2 rosemary sprigs
~1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2 inch wedges
~2 tbs fresh lime juice
1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Combine juice, mustard, and marmalade in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes or until syrupy.
3. Heat a large oven-proof skillet (I used my cast-iron dutch oven) over medium-high heat and add oil. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper and add to pan. Cook for about 5 minutes or until browned.
4. Turn chops over and add rosemary and onion to pan. Pour juice mixture over chops and bake for 10 minutes.
5. Remove onion and rosemary and add lime juice. Return to medium-high heat on cooktop and cook for 4 minutes or until liquid is syrupy.
6. Plate chops and drizzle with sauce.
