BALSAMIC PORK CHOPS
Super simple, yet serious flavour!! The Balsamic sauce is tangy and sweet, and this will go fantastically with any protein - chicken, beef, pork and even lamb! The flavour of this syrup is quite intense so you do not need much for each serving - just spoon a couple of tablespoons over each pork. While the total cook time may seem long, it is mostly hands off time because the balsamic syrup doesn't need to be watched over as it reduces.

Steps:
- Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the first side for 4 minutes until it has a lovely dark gold crust, then turn and cook the other side for 3 minutes. (Note 3)
- Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil.
- Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, still on medium high. Add garlic and onion, cook until translucent - around 3 minutes.
- Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is melted. When it comes to a simmer, adjust the heat so it is bubbling gently, not rapidly.
- Simmer for ~5 to 8 minutes or until it reduces by almost half and is a THIN syrup. Then add the pork back into the skillet, including all the juices on the plate. Simmer, turning pork to reheat, for 2 minutes or until the the sauce becomes syrupy (to your taste) and pork is reheated. (Note 4)
- Serve, garnished with crumbled goats cheese if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Soak the shallots in cold water for 10 minutes (this helps remove some of the pungent bite). Drain.
- Pierce the pork chops all over with a fork. Put in a shallow dish and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Coat the pork in all but 2 tablespoons of the Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Oil the grill grates and grill the pork until cooked through but still moist, basting occasionally with the reserved cooking sauce, about 4 minutes per side. Let the pork rest.
- Meanwhile, add the spinach, grapes and shallots to a large bowl. Drizzle in the oil, lemon juice and honey and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter. Top with the spinach and grape salad and sprinkle with the blue cheese.

Steps:
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
- Melt butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and stir to combine.
- When butter and oil shimmer, carefully add chops and cook over medium heat until browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and cook pork chops until no longer pink in the center and browned on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook the chops or they will turn dry and hard. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Remove pork chops from heat and cover to keep warm.
- Combine chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey in a small saucepan. Bring glaze to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Drizzle pan-fried chops with balsamic glaze and serve warm.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN
I found this recipe in a site promoting the other white meat. Balsamic vinegar combines with a touch of brown sugar to make a delectable glaze for this pork.. A quick browning gives the pork color and seals in the juices for a more tender dish. This recipe is simple and very tasty both hot or cold.I made 2 so I can have leftovers. Add baby potatoes to your pan and you will get these great roasted potatoes.
