Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Salt and pepper both sides of each pork chop. Heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet big enough to hold all four pork chops.
- Brown the pork chops, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chops from the pan and transfer to an ovenproof platter; place in oven. Remove when the pork is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- While the pork chops are in the oven, prepare the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of oil on medium high heat in the same skillet you used to brown the chops.
- Sauté the shallots until soft and golden. Add the wine and water and let boil down for 1-2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits.
- Add the blueberries. When the skins begin to burst, add the lemon zest and juice. Let the sauce continue to boil and thicken until the pork chops are ready.
- Once the pork chops are ready, remove the pan from the oven and place the pork chops on a cutting board and let them rest while finishing the sauce.
- Turn the heat off under the saucepan and stir in the butter until it is completely melted. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt.
- Serve the pork chops either whole or sliced, topped with the blueberry sauce and fresh parsley.

Steps:
- 1. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and 1 teaspoon of the rosemary. Cook 1 minute. Carefully stir in bourbon and simmer 3 minutes, until almost all liquid has evaporated. 2. Stir in blueberries, sugar, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper flakes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, combine remaining tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Brush onto both sides of the pork. 4. Separate leeks into layers. Grill leeks about 4 minutes, until soft and flat. Transfer to a platter. Grill pork 8 minutes, turning once, until internal temperature registers 145 degrees F. Let rest 5 minutes, then place over leeks and top with sauce.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork chops are cooked by cutting into one. The meat should be white and opaque throughout, with no pink in the center.
- To make the blueberry sauce, use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
- You can add other ingredients to the blueberry sauce, such as honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Serve the blueberry pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Blueberry pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy blueberry sauce complements the savory pork chops perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
