Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Pat them dry with a paper towel for better browning.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter to the same skillet, and let it melt. Once melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes until the onions are softened and caramelized.

Step 4

Stir in the honey and curry powder, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and coat the onions evenly.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken stock and apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onion mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Spoon the sweet curried onion sauce over the pork chops to coat them evenly and baste them as they cook.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
