Although I’m not usually much of a pork eater, these
boneless pork loin chops caught my eye at Publix. Tomatoes, oregano and goat
cheese are a few of my favorite ingredients and proved to be delicious complements
to the chops. I’ve now tested this recipe twice and received glowing reviews. Let me know what you think!
4 TBSP olive oil
½ white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 boneless pork loin chops,
about 1-inch thick
Salt & pepper to taste
½ pint cherry tomatoes
¼ cup fresh oregano
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Directions:
• Heat 2 TBSP olive oil in a
skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally
with a wooden spoon. Take off heat and
put set onions aside in a bowl.
• Heat 1 TBSP oil in skillet.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Place chops in skillet and cook to
desired doneness. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat remaining oil in
skillet. Return onions and stir in tomatoes and oregano. Cook and stir about
three minutes, until tomatoes are tender.
• Mix in balsamic vinegar and
season with salt and pepper. Top chops with onion and tomato mixture.
• Serve on a bed of mixed
greens and sprinkle with goat cheese. If desired, complement with a glass of
pinot noir and crusty French bread.
