Apricot and Apple Pork Chops

Once again I am bringing you another pork recipe. What can I say I haven't said before. I do love pork and I it was on sale.

On the way home I bought little piece of pork roast just for me and my boys. I didn't have much time to prepare dinner so I decided to grill it or quickly fry it in a skillet.

I wanted to make a tasty sauce to top the pork chops with.

That's how dried apricots and fresh apples came to play.

Our gourmet dinner was on the table within 30 minutes and off the plates within seconds.

Ingredients:

• 1-2lbs Pork Chops Boneless
  
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 Shallot (finely chopped)
• 1 Tbsp Flour
  
• 3/4 cup Dried Apricots (chopped)
  
• 3/4 Cup Apples (chopped)
• 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
• 3/4 cup White Wine (or broth)

Season the chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder on both sides.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add the chops and cook, turning once, until caramelized and the meat is just turning firm, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Remove from the skillet and cover, reserve.

Add little more oil to the pan, add shallots and saute for couple of minutes. Sprinkle in flour, stir for 1 minute, then add the wine, apricots and apples. Cook until reduced and thicker consistency. Stir in the brown sugar and saute for 1 more minute.

Pour the sauce over the chops and serve immediately.

I served mine with Orzo pasta.
