Pork Chops with Caramelized Onions and Peppers

• From: National Pork Board

Ingredients

• 2 boneless pork chops, 3/4- inch thick

• olive oil

• garlic pepper

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 1/2 tsp sugar

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 7 oz jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut into strips

• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar

This elegantly simple dish borrows heavily from the Mediterranean for its flavors.

Directions

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops lightly with oil and generously sprinkle both sides of chops with garlic pepper. Cook chops for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 160° F. Remove chops to a serving platter; keep warm. Add onion, sugar and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onion is lightly browned. Stir in roasted peppers and vinegar; heat through. Serve onion mixture over chops.
