Pork Cutlets with Figs and Balsamic Vinegar Bon Appétit | October 1998
In this entrée, balsamic vinegar gives tartness to a cream sauce that balances nicely with the pork and figs. Sautéed spinach or chard would go well with the dish.

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
6 fresh ripe figs, quartered
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon minced parsley

Transfer pork to baking sheet. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to skillet. Repeat with remaining 4 pork slices. Transfer pork to oven to keep warm. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons vinegar.
