How to Make Marmalade Glazed Pork Chops
- 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.
- Pat 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes, adding a little more oil if needed.
- Pour the marmalade mixture over the onions, stirring well to combine. Let simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.
- 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.
- 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!
