Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
- Chop 6 of the figs and add them to a saucepan over medium heat along with the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar and honey and stir for about 10 minutes, until the figs have softened and broken down. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper, and sear on each side for 3 minutes, until they are lightly browned. Transfer to a baking dish and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until they are cooked through.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and cook until they are translucent, about 3 minutes. Slice the remaining figs and add them to the pan and saute until they start to soften. Add in the fig puree and the rosemary to the pan and stir for 5 minutes.
- Top the pork chops with the fig sauce and serve. Enjoy!
PORK CHOPS IN BALSAMIC VINEGAR AND SHALLOT SAUCE
This is a quick yet tasty dish. The acidity of the balsamic vinegar is balanced by the sweetness of the shallots. I suppose the chops could be broiled rather than pan-fried, but you would lose the lovely drippings for the sauce.
