Sweet & Savory Raspberry Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops

Today’s Recipe: Raspberry Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a new recipe that combines sweet and savory flavors in a delightful way. This dish is perfect for a cozy date night or a family dinner that feels special. I was inspired to create this recipe after tasting a similar dish at a small bistro during a vacation in the countryside last summer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Ingredients:

• bone-in pork chops
• fresh raspberries
• balsamic vinegar
• garlic
• honey
• dried thyme
• salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• cast iron skillet
• mixing bowl
• tongs
• meat thermometer

To start, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and dried thyme, then sear them in a hot cast iron skillet until they’re golden brown on both sides. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Let the mixture simmer and reduce until it forms a sticky glaze. Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them with the raspberry balsamic glaze.

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and roast the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (about 20-25 minutes). Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.

Once plated, spoon any remaining glaze over the pork chops for an extra burst of flavor. The combination of the juicy pork chops and the tangy-sweet raspberry balsamic glaze is sure to impress your taste buds!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings at around 200g each. Each serving is estimated to be around 350 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra flavor boost, try adding a splash of red wine to the raspberry balsamic glaze before simmering. It adds a rich depth of flavor that pairs beautifully with the pork chops.
