Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Pat them dry with a paper towel for better browning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the same skillet, and let it melt. Once melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until the onions are softened and caramelized.
Stir in the honey and curry powder, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and coat the onions evenly.
Pour in the chicken stock and apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Spoon the sweet curried onion sauce over the pork chops to coat them evenly and baste them as they cook.
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
