Equipment
- 1 iron skillet
- 1 bowl
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 1 cup apricot snack in light syrup or peach
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients: Apricot chunks with the syrup, sugar, garlic powder, cooking wine, and vinegar.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chops.
- Remove the cooked chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate, covering them loosely with foil to keep them warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the ingredients you mix to the bowl.
- Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the apricot glaze over them.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the chops to absorb some of the flavours from the glaze.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the pork chops rest in the glaze for a minute or two.
- Serve the pan-fried pork chops with the apricot glaze, spooning any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
- Pair the dish with sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
