Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Shallots (finely minced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare your ingredients.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and wait until it shimmers.
Place the pork chops in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt.
Stir in the shallots and garlic, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add fresh blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth. Stir to combine, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Sprinkle in the fresh rosemary, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down slightly and the sauce thickens.
Stir in honey, taste the sauce, and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt or more honey if needed.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to rewarm the chops and blend the flavors.
Serve immediately, plating each pork chop with a generous spoonful of the savory blueberry sauce. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
