Garlic Pork Chops with Balsamic Vinegar image

The balsamic vinegar combined with the blanched and sauteed garlic makes a really nice sauce for these yummy pork chops. I found this recipe in one of the Sunset cookbooks.

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 head garlic, separated into cloves
6 pork loin chops, trimmed of fat (about 2 lbs.)
fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon oil
1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
1/4 cup sweet vermouth
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
salt

Steps:

  • In a medium-size pan, bring about 4 cups of water to a boil; add unpeeled garlic cloves; boil for 1 minute.
  • Drain; let cool slightly, then peel and set aside.
  • Sprinkle chops generously with pepper.
  • Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add chops and cook until well browned on the bottom, 4-5 minutes; turn chops over, arrange garlic around them and continue to cook until browned on the other side, 4-5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a 6-quart pan, cook noodles in 3-quarts of boiling water, just until tender to bite, 10-12 minutes; or cook according to package directions.
  • While noodles are cooking, mix vermouth and mustard; pour over browned chops.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until chops are done but still moist and slightly pink in center; cut to test (about 5 minutes).
  • Drain noodles; transfer to a warm deep platter, arrange chops over noodles; keep warm.
  • Add vinegar to sauce in pan; increase heat to medium-high and stir to scrape up browned bits.
  • Bring to a boil; boil until reduced to about 1/2 cup (2-3 minutes).
  • Season sauce to taste with salt, then spoon over chops.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pork chops turned out tough and dry. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to this recipe.

The balsamic vinegar sauce was a bit too strong for my taste, but the pork chops were cooked perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops turned out a bit dry. Maybe I should have cooked them for less time.
