Recipe: Maple-Glazed Pork Chops

MAPLE-GLAZED PORK CHOPS

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
4 boneless pork loin chops, about 1 pound
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
6 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 Tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon-style or other spicy mustard

Heat vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper and place in skillet. Brown well on one side, then flip and brown the other side. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until done, depending on thickness of chops.

While the pork chops cook, measure syrup, vinegar and mustard into a small bowl; set aside.

Remove cooked pork chops to a plate. Turn heat to medium and add syrup mixture to skillet. Stir well until mustard is evenly mixed. Drain juice from chops into skillet and stir.

Serve the chops with a little sauce alongside noodles and red cabbage.
