Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 3 medium Ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
Step 5
Peel, core, and dice the pears into small cubes.
Step 6
Add the pears to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Step 7
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and water. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken into a compote.
Step 8
Remove the pear compote from heat and adjust sweetness with additional honey if needed.
Step 9
Serve the pork chops topped with a generous spoonful of the pear compote.
Step 10
Optional: Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for an elegant touch.
