Easy comfort food


Too tired from cooking all day at work, for dinner I made a simple meal of mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and pork chops in an apple cider sauce. Here's the chops recipe:

2 boneless pork chops (they were about 5 oz. each)
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 tspn sugar
pinch of salt
1 cup apple cider
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Preheat oven to 350F. Heat oil in skillet over medium to high heat until hot but not smoking. Brown pork chops on one side only. Transfer chops, browned sides up, to baking dish. Bake chops until cooked thru, about 20 minutes.

While chops cook, melt butter over medium heat in same skillet. Once foam subsides, add onion, sugar and salt, stirring occassionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cider and vinegar, boil, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender and liquid has become a glaze. About 15 minutes. Pour onions and glaze over chops.

This recipe is almost exactly a recipe from Epicurious, though they called for smoked bone-in chops (didn't have those) and said the glaze would form in 10 minutes. It took at least another 5 for me.

It was very tasty, quick and easy.
