Tuscan Pork Chops
Description
Tuscan Pork Chops are prepared by dredging boneless pork chops in a flour mixture seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. The chops are seared in olive oil until golden, then set aside while the sauce is made in the same pan by sautéing pressed garlic, adding balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, and diced Roma tomatoes. The mixture is brought to a boil, and the pork chops are returned to simmer covered with the sauce. Fresh baby spinach is added near the end to wilt gently. This method steeps the pork chops in a tangy, slightly sweet, and garlicky sauce that pairs well with the hearty meat. Optionally, shaving Parmesan over the finished dish can enhance the flavor further. This recipe combines pan-frying and simmering techniques to achieve tender pork with a savory sauce and greens.
