Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops with Wicked Good Pepper
This quick skillet recipe for balsamic glazed pork chops features the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Using Lesley Elizabeth’s Wicked Good Pepper and Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Seasoning, this dish is elevated with a bold peppery bite and delicate aromatics, finished with a drizzle of rich raspberry balsamic glaze and fresh raspberries for a gourmet touch. Ideal for weeknight dinners or special occasions alike.
Ingredients:
- 4 center cut pork chops (¾ inch thick, about 2 lbs total)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Wicked Good Pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Seasoning
- ⅔ cup raspberry balsamic dressing (or glaze)
- 1½ teaspoons sugar
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries
Instructions:
1. Season the Pork:
Pat pork chops dry. Season both sides with salt and Wicked Good Pepper.
2. Sear the Chops:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork chops in two batches along with Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Seasoning. Sear each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove pork and set aside on a plate.
3. Make the Glaze:
To the same skillet, add raspberry balsamic dressing and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves and glaze begins to thicken slightly, about 1 minute.
4. Glaze the Pork:
Lower heat. Return pork to the skillet along with any juices. Turn pork to coat in the glaze. Cook 3 minutes more, turning occasionally until fully cooked through.
5. Finish & Serve:
Transfer pork to a platter. Boil the remaining glaze for 2 minutes until syrupy. Add fresh raspberries just before serving and stir gently. Spoon sauce over pork and serve hot.
