Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 medium Ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
Peel, core, and dice the pears into small cubes.
Add the pears to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and water. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken into a compote.
Remove the pear compote from heat and adjust sweetness with additional honey if needed.
Serve the pork chops topped with a generous spoonful of the pear compote.
Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for an elegant touch.
