Ingredients
- 2 11/2" thick bone-in pork chops
- salt
- 1½ teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot chopped
- 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 3 rosemary springs
- 1 tablespoon capers drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt and ½ teaspoon sugar. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Cook chops, without touching them, until well browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook the other side for another minute, slightly browned. Transfer to a plate (they will not be cooked), reduce the heat.
- Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil into the same skillet and add the shallot and garlic. Cook stirring often until softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vinegar and remaining tablespoon of sugar to the skillet. Cook until the vinegar is nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- Add rosemary, capers and ½ cup water to the skillet. Season with salt. Reduce the heat as needed to maintain a very low simmer. Add butter and swirl pan continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and emulsified.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet arranging darker side up. Simmer gently in sauce until the chops are cooked about 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer pork chops to plate and spoon sauce over it.
Notes
- This recipe is very straightforward, and as will all my recipes, I suggest you have all your ingredients ready before cooking.
- Leave the pork chops out at room temperature so it will take less time to cook, but your chops will sear better.
