Ingredients for Marmalade Glazed Pork Chops

  • Pork Chops
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more as needed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Orange Marmalade
  • Bottled Chili Sauce
  • Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Marmalade Glazed Pork Chops

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons chili sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Set aside.
  2. Pat 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned.
  4. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, adding a little more oil if needed.
  6. Pour the marmalade mixture over the onions, stirring well to combine. Let simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.
  7. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top. Reduce heat to low, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until the glaze is bubbly and the chops are heated through.
  8. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or chopped green onions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
