Pork chops with balsamic glaze

We added roasted butternut squash and sauteed red cabbage on the side.

Balsamic Glazed Pork Chops
Adapted from Epicurious. See full recipe here.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pork chops of medium thickness
5 shallots, peeled and sliced in halves or quarters depending on size
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar

Method
Salt and pepper chops. Brown chops and shallots in hot oil in large saucepan until chops are browned on both sides and shallots have started to soften. Add balsamic vinegar and sugar and cook until chops are done and sauce has reduced to thick glaze.

Rating: Really, how can you go wrong with balsamic glaze? We had intended to grill the pork chops we picked up this weekend from Hilltop Pastures at the Midtown Farmers Market, but the weather thought otherwise. But this treatment didn't leave me disappointed, and we didn't have to get wet to cook it.
