Did these on a whim last Friday. We had pork chops, we had blueberries. Bada bing!
-pork chops
-3 tablespoons olive oil
-2 cloves minced garlic
-Salt and pepper to season
-½ cup white cooking wine
-½ tsp thyme
-¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
-1 tbsp brown sugar
-3 tablespoons lemon juice
-3 tablespoons butter
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Pan fry the pork chops in the olive oil and garlic until completely cooked about 4-5 minutes per side. Add the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, wine, thyme, nutmeg and brown sugar. Simmer to reduce the volume of the sauce by half. Add the lemon juice and butter and simmer for an additional minute or so until the sauce slightly thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste and spoon the sauce over the cooked pork chops.
These turned out pretty nice, especially for being spur of the moment. We served them with garlic mashed potatoes.
