Today’s Unique Dish: Raspberry Glazed Pork Chops

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and unexpected recipe for raspberry glazed pork chops. I was feeling creative in the kitchen and decided to try something sweet and savory, and let me tell you, the flavors in this dish really surprised me in the best way possible. So, let’s dive into the details of this unique recipe!

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in pork chops (approx. 800g)
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (approx. 150g)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• cast iron skillet
• mixing bowl
• meat thermometer

I start by preheating my cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet is heating up, I season the pork chops with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, I sear the seasoned pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust.

In a mixing bowl, I mash the fresh raspberries with a fork until they form a chunky puree. Then, I stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey to create the sweet and tangy glaze for the pork chops.

Next, I pour the raspberry balsamic glaze over the seared pork chops in the skillet. I reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer in the glaze for about 10-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.

Once the pork chops are cooked through and glazed to perfection, I remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. The aroma of the sweet raspberry glaze mixed with the savory pork chops is absolutely irresistible!
