Pork Chops and Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard Can substitute with yellow or whole grain mustard.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup peach jam Can substitute with apricot or raspberry jam.
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder Add more for extra spice.
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • to taste olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, onion, peach jam, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Pour the maple mustard mixture over the pork chops.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pork is cooked through.
  5. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad. Drizzle extra sauce over the pork for added flavor. For more flavor, marinate the pork chops in the sauce for a few hours before cooking. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or chicken broth to thin it out.
