Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (3/4 inch thick) center cut pork chops (about 2 pounds total)

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 ounces small shallots (about 8), quartered and peeled, leaving root ends intact
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Heat oil in a 12 inch heavy non stick skillet over moderately high heat until hot, then cook pork (in 2 batches if necessary) along with shallots, turning pork over once and stirring shallots occasionally, until pork is browned and shallots are golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes total. 3. Transfer pork with tongs to a plate and add vinegar, sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to shallots in skillet.
