Pork Chops with Sweet Mustard Sauce
Description
Red onion slices soaked in cider vinegar top these pan-fried pork chops. The recipe also features a creamy apricot-mustard sauce for dipping.
Ingredients
•
1 red onion, sliced into rings
•
1/4 cup cider vinegar
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
4 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/2 cup sour cream
•
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
•
2 1/2 tablespoons apricot preserves
Directions
1
Mince enough of the red onion slices to have 1/3 cup minced onion.
2
Put remaining onion slices in a bowl and pour vinegar over them; marinate for 10 minutes. Drain and discard the vinegar.
3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with salt and pepper; fry in the hot oil until nicely browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
4
Arrange pork chops onto serving plates; top each with a portion of the red onion slices.
5
Whisk minced onion, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apricot preserves together in a bowl; serve with the pork chops.
