Garlic Balsamic Pork

Adapted from Better Homes and Gardens: Biggest Book of 30 Minute Meals

You will need:

  • 6 pieces of pork. We didn’t have chops… our pieces were smaller. I forget the cut’s name.
  • Rosemary
  • Salt
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Mustard
  • Honey

Trim the fat from the meat. Sprinkle both sides with rosemary and salt, pressing into the meat.

Cook meat in oil in a large pan over medium heat until done. Transfer to a platter. Cover and keep warm.

For sauce, sautee garlic in the drippings for a while. Then stir in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, mustard, and honey (eyeball it… it should be like a salad dressing). Bring to a boil.

Pour sauce over the meat.

I really liked the flavor of this. Next time I think I might add more mustard than I did this time… but it was really good.
