Honey- Apricot Pork Chops

-
From ALLRECIPES.com magazine this recipe really was so easy to make. We ended up grilling BONE-IN pork chops ( smoked them) then made the apricot topping sauce in separate skillet and poured over. We loved it so much my sister-in-law was stilling talking about it the next day how good it was!!!!!

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
 
  • 4 fresh apricots, pitted and cut into wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, and sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and brown the chops well on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  2. Stir in honey, apricots, and garlic; cover, and simmer until the pork is tender, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer, inserted into the center of a chop, should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Sprinkle with parsley, and serve chops topped with the apricots and pan juices.

Robke's Famous Pork Chop Martini

 From the TODA Y show Chef  Louis Salvaggio from Robke's restaurant on Long Island.  I love this dish because it takes away all the margin of error with pan-fried pounded pork chops. They're nearly impossible to undercook or overcook, and they soak up that beautiful tangy cherry pepper sauce. This was so good and we can't wait to make it again!  2 (10-ounce) bone-in rib pork chops (we only had boneless) 1/2 cup all-purpose flour  4 eggs, beaten (only used 1) 2 cups fine panko breadcrumbs 1/2 cup olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of a large frying pan  1/4 cup hot and sweet cherry peppers, halved and seeded, plus the juice  1 clove garlic  1 tablespoon red wine vinegar  1 lemon, juiced  1/2 cup chicken broth  salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste  2 tablespoons butter  1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano  1 tablespoon chopped parsley, to garnish 1. Start by trimming and cleaning your pork chops. Pound them...
