Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large peaches, sliced
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 pound pork chops
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons apricot preserves (or honey)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup blue cheese (or feta), crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, apricot preserves, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Marinate the pork chops in half of this mixture for 20 minutes to overnight, reserving the remaining half.
- Shake off excess marinade and pan-fry the pork chops over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Set aside the cooked pork chops.
- Place the remaining balsamic mixture in the same pan and simmer until it starts to thicken, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sliced peaches to the pan and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.
- Top the pork chops with the balsamic peach sauce and crumbled blue cheese (if using).
